Marker Alpinist 12
RRP 320,00 € / 380,00 € (mit Bremse)

The ultralight pin binding Marker Alpinist 12 weighs only 245 grams without brakes. The combination of a large number of innovative features and low weight is unique on the market. This is achieved through a novel construction and in combination with high-tech materials for the toe and heel pieces. The toe piece, made with 30% long-fiber carbon, is both lighter and stiffer than comparable constructions, and is also equipped with anti-icing pads. The heel piece scores with central comfort features: The Marker Alpinist offers climbing aids in three increments for the ascent, with 0°, 5°, and 9°. Both on the ascent and descent, the binding ensures dynamic length compensation of 4 millimeters when the ski flexes. The 38-millimeter wide drill pattern ensures excellent power transmission to the ski during descent.

Alpinist Free
The Alpinist Free, with a DIN setting from 6.0 to 13.0, weighs only 395g including the brake and offers improved power transmission and ski performance thanks to its wider platform. This pin binding is ideal for long ascents and freeride descents where every gram counts. It offers a 35mm length adjustment, climbing aids at 0°, 5°, and 9°, and a quick transition from uphill to downhill mode via a rotational movement. An active length compensation of 4mm maintains ski flex.

Marker
Ultra Flex
Marker's Ultra Flex is so lightweight, it's barely noticeable. This frameless goggle was designed with maximum lightweight construction and features a highly flexible lens coated with Super Anti-Fog NMT+, eliminating the need for large ventilation openings against fogging and thus allowing for the frameless design. As a result, the goggle's construction is very flat, sitting significantly closer to the face, enabling an unparalleled panoramic view.

Duke PT
With the successor version of the legendary Duke, Marker offers freeride enthusiasts completely new possibilities: the new Duke PT hybrid binding delivers full downhill performance with release function and a Z-value of 6 to 16, combined with pin technology. Thanks to the Convertible Toe, the binding becomes 300g lighter per foot during the ascent: the magnesium housing on the Inter Pivot 3 Freeride heel enables maximum stability with low weight. For perfect power transmission during the descent, the detachable toe piece is fixed at four points (Auto Quad Lock). The binding comes with a Lock & Walk brake and can be used in neutral walking mode and with a 10° climbing aid. The Sole.ID technology ensures one hundred percent compatibility with alpine, touring, and GripWalk soles.
