Dude STH2s are beast. I have two seasons of beating on them and they still feel like brand new.

Mine click in nice, never release when I don't want them to, always release when I do, and have remained the same since I bought them. I will definitely be buying more pairs.

If you're worried about durability I'd upgrade to STH2 16. This binding has surprised me over the first few years. hardly any problems besides a broken brake here and there.

+1 For STH2 16. The main pillar on the toe is metal vs the plastic pillar on the 13. Both are great, but I can't see the 16 ever breaking besides maybe the brakes as mentioned. Those are super cheap and easy to replace anyways

The words "marker" and "better" should never appear in the same sentence unless you are saying something like, "marker bindings are marginally better than using masking tape to hold your feet to your skis."

Honestly that's not true. The jester is a good binding. Is it better than the STH2 or pivot 14/18? No, but it's still a good durable binding. Griffon/squire not as much.

Got FKS 14 mounted on Salomon RCKR2 100 and delaminated First day... Is it because of FKS ? Not appropriate for a 100mm ski ??

Why would a binding cause a delam?
