Question for 2 people:
I'm 5'8", 147 lbs, Salomon Falcon 10 boot size 26.5, aggressive expert skier skiing off-piste (not park) looking for bindings for Volkl Kuro with 133mm waist. Which bindings are best? I'm told to look at Marker Jester, Marker Griffon, and Salomon STH 14. I had pre-release problems with Marker 12.0 Freeride and replaced them with Salomon 12 TI on my Volkl Mantra. DIN is 8.

My friend is 6'2", 213 lbs, intermediate skiier, looking for bindings for Volkl Mantra 96mm waist and Volkl Kuro 133mm waist.

i agree with shane I have the first year marker jesters on my sir francis bacons and absoultly love them. From big hits to small stuff they are awesome. have a solid step in feel too which is nice when tryin to get your skis back on a 45 degree slope. awesome bindings

For you, I say the Jester is the best bet. Marker has some problems with there lower end stuff, but the top of the line(Royal Family) is so sick, and has no problems at all. Grab the Jesters and then go get the brakes with the 132mm(?) waist, might be 130mm, but they bend out pretty easy. You could get away with the Griffons, but as an aggressive skier, the Jesters will be better. For your friends size, I would say that also the Jester is the best bet of the bunch. Get the 110mm for the Mantras and the 130mm for the Kuro.
