Marker Duke PT

The toe piece is designed to be removed and stowed in your pack during the ascent, significantly reducing swing weight. Once you reach the summit, you simply click the alpine toe piece back into place for a secure, full-performance descent.

The Duke PT is compatible with standard alpine boots (ISO 5355), GripWalk soles, and touring boots (ISO 9523). It is not compatible with boots that lack a standard alpine or touring sole profile, such as some dedicated race or ultra-lightweight carbon boots.

Not at all. When the toe piece is locked in for the descent, the binding functions exactly like a traditional alpine binding, providing the same power transfer, retention, and safety release values you would expect from a dedicated resort binding.

While the Duke PT is a high-performance tool, its DIN range of 4-12 accommodates a wide variety of skier weights and abilities. However, it is primarily engineered for advanced skiers who spend significant time in the backcountry and require a robust, reliable system.

No tools are required to remove or reattach the toe piece. The system uses a simple, intuitive locking mechanism that can be operated while wearing gloves, making transitions quick and efficient even in cold conditions.

Yes, the Duke PT features integrated climbing aids that can be easily flipped up to provide different heel lift angles, helping you maintain a comfortable stride on steeper skin tracks.
