Marker Kingpin
Best reliable downhill performance for advanced ski tourers.
This is the rare touring binding that actually skis like a true alpine setup, offering the power transfer and security you need for aggressive descents. You sacrifice a bit of weight compared to minimalist pin bindings, but the trade-off is a confidence-inspiring ride that handles steep, technical terrain with ease.
