Oh yeah dude, When I bought my markers 4 years ago, they were teh model from the previous year, Well anyways I broke the bindings 2 years later and I got them warranted a year later after that. So basically they were warranted 3 years after I bought them, when they were an old model. Marker has nice warranties... as opposed to Soloman, I've broken 2 pairs and none qualified to be warrentied under their terms.
