Depends on the boot model and the kind of binders.

worst combo.  These binding specifically suck with the FTs

My griffons work perfectly with my booters, and griffons are just a lower din version of jesters so I'd assume they'd work fine.

I'd say go for it, even if they're the 09 models it's still a decent deal, but if it's the 2010 model go for it for sure. (assuming everything fits properly)

If you are in the market for both boots and bindings its a good deal in my mind. Say the bindings are 08s and you are getting them for like $200, which is a sick deal for great bindings. That would make the boots $300. Even if they are 08s that is a sick price. If the boots fit your feet good, I would take the deal.

Very untrue...If the boots fit your foot type correctly and as long as your not 110lb 13yr old yes that seems like a good deal

the package is not just marker bindings. i can choose any binding they have. from what i hear the jester sounds like it has to many problems. what other bindings would you reccomend?

I'd get jesters. I have FT booters and jester bindings and I couldn't be happier. I got the jesters right when they came out in 2007 and I have remounted them on a new pair of skis each season, because they held up so well. I ski like 2-3 days a week (usually 100% park btw), that's a lot of punishment to any binding. I have had zero problems with my jesters, and they are killer light and feel great.

my bad, my meter must have been broken, I just noticed that.

Yeah, I know that, but I meant in terms of shape and design, the material that they're made of wouldn't affect how the boot fits in the binding.

Jesters are a great choice. IMO they are better than the px15s that your shop has.
