The new Alpinist Free with a DIN range of 6.0 to 13.0 weighs just 395 g including the brake and delivers noticeably improved force transmission and ski performance thanks to the new wider base. The Alpinist Free binding is the first choice when every gram counts on long ascents followed by unforgettable freeride descents.
Like the predecessor model, in addition to the Alpinist heel, it is equipped with the Marker ISI toe, whose wider step-in platform enables simplify and intuitive step-in. The clever kinematics of the pin lever allow the pins to be snapped in with very little force. The Alpinist‘s heel piece offers a full 35 mm adjustment range as well as 0°, 5°, and 9° climbing aids. The wide drilling pattern of the Alpinist Free also supports the very good transmission of force to the edges and the overall design allows active length compensation, which does not affect the ski‘s flex behaviour.
Ski Touring is the best way of discovering the mountains on your own terms away from the ski resorts. In unspoiled natural surroundings you can recover from the stresses of day-to-day life and recharge your batteries. Our new Alpinist FREE binding is perfectly tailored to what demanding tours require. So you can be entirely in the moment.
