The Marker Alpinist 12 Alpine Touring Ski Bindings are simple, elegant, and seriously lightweight. With the same bomber toepiece as the hard charging Kingpin series, plus a DIN 12 pin heel, the Alpinist 12 is no slouch when it comes to downhill performance. But the real kicker is that you get all of that in a binding that weighs just 270 grams. With less weight and a more streamlined design than popular hybrid options, but superior skiing performance to many other ultralight tech bindings, the Marker Alpinist 12 Alpine Touring Ski Bindings hit a perfect sweet spot for competent skiers pushing deep into the backcountry.

ISI Toe Piece – The new "Intuitive Step In" tech toepiece features a rubber stop pad and a wider step-in platform with easier step-in than previous models.

Anti Ice Pads – Anti Ice Pads in the base of toe to prevent icing in critical areas.

Alpinist Heel – Alpinist heel with adjustable lateral release with different DIN options and 15mm of heel adjustment range (+-7,5mm). Offers three walking modes thanks to the hot forged aluminum climbing aid. The “Fast Shift Mode” enables quick shifting between neutral and highest walking mode.

Active Length Compensation – Active length compensation in the heel allowing the heel to move back up to 4 mm when the ski is flexed.

Alpinist Climbing Aids – Neutral walking mode and two climbing aids offering 5° and 9°. The fast shift mode enables quick shifting between 0° and 9° without the need to rotate the heel.
