Yeah I have the same binding which I've skied two seasons and they seem bomber.  I use to blow up Salomons like it was my job but I haven't had any problems with the markers aside from the occasional prerelease and a bent break, which was totally my fault.

Because the Duke is a bomber freeride binding with a touring feature, why not - it is such a sick setup

They use them because they are cheap and it is easy to switch out parts on them.  I saw at least a hundred broken bindinds in the rental shop last year.  Salomon rental bindings give them a run for their money on shittiness though.

markers race stock gear is also bomber, thus why such a massive proportion of racers continue to use them

Who cares what they look like, you should care about how ridiculously light they are and how well they hold you on your skis going up to a 16 din.

Haven't had any problems with marker comp 20s

Their low end models probably suck, but low-end anything usually sucks.

The racing bindings, yes. But the freeride bindings have not really been hailed as having the greatest durability ever.

Their freeride bindings have been notoriously touchy over the years.

And today I witnessed a homie blowup his Jesters on something so minuscule. Plastic plastic plastic...

I'd love to try out the Jester/Duke. My only experience with Markers was a negative experience a few years back. they were not a good freeskiing binding before. Great for racing and casual skiing, but they did not take kindly to the stress and forces of freeskiing.

I unfortunatley have a pair of marker pants. My mom got them for me for christmas last year.She also managed to get me marker bindings on my skis. Thats what I get for telling her to go to the shop that has nothing but marker bindings.
