Anyone skiing these?

Interested in getting a pair but the 13 din and lack of reviews has me wary.

Onenerdykid, any clue if they'll make a 16 din version?

Anyone know how similar the mounting pattern is to the STH?

what's its...angle? like what niche is it supposed to fill/why would you consider them over STHs or something?

i don't know shit about the binding but (pure speculation ahead) i have a hard time imagining that a binding that only has a 13 din version is particularly strong and high-performing..?

They can be used with either alpine or AT boots.

AT boot compatibility. Looking to move from a Tecnica Cochise to a more AT-oriented boot with a better heel hold.

That way, I can mount them with QK's so I can use my Kingpins for BC and these for inbounds.

I'm intrigued by them as well. I haven't skied them yet but have heard good things. If you're willing to read through a lot of comments, TGR has a thread on it.

Just looked at Marker's 2017 catalog and they will have the entire royal family certified for both boot sole norms so you could get a 16 din binder that'll take touring boots.

I was under the impression only the Lord would take pure AT boots (a la Dynafit Vulcans, Khions, Salomon Labs, Scarpa Maestrales, etc.)

Up until this year that was the case but in the 2017 catalog Marker is releasing the Jester Pro, Jester, Griffon, and Lord with "Sole.ID" technology which basically looks like the adjustable AFD plate on the Lord. It says it is fully compatible with both alpine (ISO 5355) and full tech (ISO 9523) soles and not just a WTR adjustment.

Good to know. The real question is, is it worth getting the Jester Pro? I prefer metal bindings for the most part.

We will have to see.

Thanks for the info.
