Weighing in at a featherweight 250 grams (8.9 oz) per binding (~500grams/pair) without a brake, the design relies on forged aluminum, carbon, and fiber-reinforced polyamide plus a simple u-spring style heel piece to keep it light. The Marker Alpinist follows a minimalist design approach. But if it’s a lightweight, dedicated ski touring binding you are after, the Marker Alpinist is the binding that deserves your attention. Blending the security of an alpine binding heel design with a tech toe, the Kingpin earned its place in the AT binding hierarchy for skiers seeking a stout touring binding. Marker is, of course, well established in the alpine binding world and first stepped into tech binding design with the Kingpin. One of the more recent alpine touring tech bindings to turn our heads is the Marker Alpinist 12. Dynafit set the tech binding standard and many have followed.
