never used them, and always stuck with marker. just wondering what people that have USED look bindings feel about them. definitley cheaper than some new maker jesters, but looking for options this year as i might get some new bindings.
park use.

I've used P14s and P18s on my park skis. I'm 5'11", 160 lbs.

I used to use Markers, but decided to give the P14s a few years ago. They were great but one year I found a half price sale on brand new P18s, so I jumped on them and I'll never change binding types again. They make me feel so secure, and the release is super smooth as I'm on the lowest DIN setting. Durability is on point. Only thing about Looks is worrying about the brakes, but for me it's totally worth it.

Thanks a lot. Definitely look into checking out those P18s

Similar experience to the dude above, I used to be a marker fanboy, then I found some fks 140s for cheap and haven't looked back. They just have a feel that I love. The solid clunk when you step into them and they have the smoothest release I've ridden. I really wanna find some 155/180 metal toes and ditch the plastic 140 toes.

Yeah I definitely try to stay away from as much plastic as possible but it's nice for the lightweight. But thanks for the input gentlemen. Currently looking at some look p18 right now. So you guys like the p14s?

Yea if you're not blowing up binding toes and having pull outs, you may be just fine with the 140s. But some people like sacrificing a little extra weight for that extra durability. What's your height, weight, skiing ability, ect?

With your weight you could definitely ride in the P18 comfortably in the low DIN range. The P14s are great bindings. That being said, for me the more durable metal toe was worth the extra cost. Absolutely love the bindings, I think you'll be fine no matter which one you pick. The extra weight between the 14 and 18 really doesn't matter, and isn't really noticeable for me.

That's what's up man. I'll look into moving outside the jesters.
