PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Marker Jester looks like no other alpine binding because it is like no other alpine binding. Its shorter, flatter, wider mounting footprint gives increased lateral control, improves switch riding, and concentrates the swing weight for easier spin initiation. Its compact footprint also allows the ski to flex naturally, decreasing the stiff, plate-like feel associated with high-DIN alpine bindings (the Jester reaches a comp-worthy 16). Marker placed the Jester’s mounting points under the sole holder axis for direct power transmission, and gave the binding just 2mm of forward ramp angle so your boot sits almost level on the ski. These features, combined with one of the safest, most technical release mechanisms in the industry, literally enable you to seek new heights whether you’re dropping cliffs or launching out of the pipe. *Skis must be at least 76mm wide to accept wider mounting pattern.
Bottom line
The Jester is built for pure big-mountain freestyle performance.
Product Reviews
Buy It!
I'm not sure why the Jester was originally marketed as a park and pipe binding. It is so much more. It is one the lightest 16 din binding on the market. It will lighten up any set-up will stil havingthe intergity of a 16 din. Many people believe you must ski 20 din marker to prevent pre-releasing, not with the Jester. It does not have the biometric toe, so it will keep you in off any big cliff or gnarley line. I love the way it skis, it adds a little riser to your set up which helps you power through the turn. I would recommend this binding to anyone.
maybe too great?
these are the toughest and coolest looking bindings that i have ever skied and i think they are super solid everywhere. the only problem for me was that they became eye candy for someone who decided to steal them.
Perfect clamps for the frontside!
After skiing for 15 years on Salomon 9-16's I am really happy to say I have found something better. The Jester is so stiff torsionally that you can really feel the ski bite on hard snow. Obviously this is less important in powder, but the security is excellent (I have popped out exactly when I thought I should have) If you are considering a new alpine binding that not only works perfectly but looks trick the Jesters are no Joker!
