Marker Duke PT
Best hybrid binding for aggressive skiers seeking downhill power and touring versatility.

By allowing you to shed the toe piece for the climb, it saves your legs without sacrificing the locked-in, aggressive feel of a true alpine setup on the way down. It is the ultimate compromise for skiers who refuse to choose between two worlds.
