Marker Jester 18 Pro

The Marker Jester 18 Pro is a freeride ski binding built to handle varied terrain and aggressive skiing styles. It’s part of Marker’s ski binding lineup, aimed at riders who push off-piste and need reliable performance when exploring steep slopes and deep snow.

With a release value (DIN) ranging from 6 to 16, the Jester 18 Pro adapts to a wide span of skier weight and skill levels, offering solid retention in hard turns and dependable release when you need it. The binding comes with integrated brakes to keep your skis in place when you’re walking or skinning back uphill, and at 1105 grams each, it strikes a balance between sturdiness and manageable swing weight on the descent.

The DIN scale indicates how much force is required to trigger the binding’s release mechanism. A lower number means it will release more easily under stress, reducing injury risk for lighter or less aggressive skiers, while a higher number holds firm under bigger impacts and heavier loads. The 6–16 range covers intermediate riders up to heavy, expert freeriders who demand both safety and performance.
