Durability
5/5
max pilling gave 5 of 5 stars. While there is not much metal in these bindings, the plastic that Marker uses in their bindings does a great job of holding up to all the abuse bindings take. They can handle being dropped, kicked, slammed, and crashed into everything someone will find on the hill and in transportation.

Power Transfer
4/5
max pilling gave 4 of 5 stars. Due to a more aggressive forward stance and an anti-friction device that gives my boot more room to move, these bindings offer a smooth, damp ride while ensuring my movement is translated directly to my skis.

FAQs
What do you love about this product?
max pilling I love how reliable and lightweight these bindings are. They are consistent in how they release and are very lightweight, making them easy to carry on my skis, and they help keep my legs fresh.
What was your favorite moment with this gear?
max pilling While using these to ski with my family, I was astounded by how much better I could maneuver my skis with these bindings than when compared to my heftier Jester bindings. They really help to keep my legs fresh.
Why did you choose this product?
max pilling I chose this product to put on skis I use on skiing days with slower skiers and don't need to be charging. For me, having a lightweight binding that will keep my legs fresh while still being reliable enough to ski on any terrain is worth it. I normally ski a 16 DIN binding, but it is nice not to have to carry around all that extra weight on days with the family.
