Marker Alpinist 9 (Black, Titanium)

Description

And, just in case you decide to pick up a new pair of boots mid-season, the Alpinist sports 15 millimeters of adjustability to accommodate different boot sole lengths. It sports an adjustable 4-9 release value for a consistent release when you need it, while the carbon-reinforced toe piece maintains the binding's stiffness for a smooth, responsive power transmission. With lower release values than its bigger sibling, the Alpinist 12, this binding is perfect for lighter-weight backcountry aficionados. Marker made sure that the heel piece adapts to the flex of your ski, which further improves the release consistency and makes a better connection between the binding and your ski. Three heel riser heights deliver comfort and efficiency on the steep skintracks and flat slogs alike, and are easy to shift for fast angle changes. With lower release values than its bigger sibling, the Alpinist 12, this binding is for lighter-weight backcountry aficionados. Marker's Alpinist 9 Binding is an ultralight clamp that won't weight you down on your longest, steepest approaches, yet will also provide reliable performance when it's time to strip skins and rip your line. The lightweight performance and uphill-oriented nature doesn't dim the Alpinist's dependability on the steeps, though. This incredibly lightweight package is surprisingly filled with features that will enhance your experience in the backcountry without adding excess weight.
