Marker Alpinist 8

Marker Alpinist 8

The ultra-light and durable touring pin binding for high alpine challenges with DIN settings up to 8, specifically optimized for light weight touring enthusiasts.

The ultra-light Alpinist 8 pin binding (245 g w/o brake) is optimized for lighter and specifically female ski tourers. A unique and softer heel spring supports easy entry and lowers the DIN range to 3-8. Besides that the Alpinist 8 is identical to the 10 and 12 models. It also offers active length compensation during ski flex and an impressive power transfer downhill due to a 38 mm drill pattern. The carbon-reinforced toe provides great stiffness and comes with anti-ice pads and integrated elastomers for easy stepping in. The heel features a climbing aid with 0°, 5° and 9° angle and allows super convenient switching between hike and ride mode. Very practical: Alpinist allows a +/- 7,5 mm heel adjustment to suit various sole/boot lengths!
