    Marker hate is very much warranted. As stated above, shop techs know the deal. Salomon, Look or Tyrolia, never Marker.

    in my short time in a shop i saw more marker failures than anything else by far - no matter how much you adjusted them they just seemed to get worse, threw away a lot of bindings

    im in the pivot crowd but have much much love for the sth, something about that snap of the toe piece release is satisfying to me...

    Haven't thought about bindings for about 10 years. What's good these days?

    Had/kinda still am a Marker guy w/Jesters. Have Jesters on my Katanas. But I’m starting to see the light.

    Have been a tech about 10 years at a very busy shop...I put a lot of Markers, Looks, Tyrolias and Salomons on a shit ton of skis each winter. We are doing a lot of Tyrolias this winter....the Attack is killing it. Last year it was the Warden.

    I am starting to sway a bit from my Marker love.....This winter I switched the quiver on family/friends to:

    - Pivots on my Wren108’s
    -Attacks on my daughters Sheeva9
    -Attacks on my buddies 100eights
    -Attacks on my wife’s Black Pearl98’s.

    ....I still don’t think I can give up my Jesters.....but I have definitely changed my opinion over the last 10 years....With installing/remounting/testing, etc......the Look, Tyrolia and Salomon seem to be right on.
