Gear Review: Marker Kingpin Ski Binding

The Kingpin consists of a tech toe with a lock-out function for touring and a pinless alpine-like heel on a track with a ski/walk level. The heel has two risers, 7 deg and 13 deg as well as a flat tour option. It comes standard with 100 or 125 mm breaks and you can buy a breakless heel pad separately.

Gear Review: G3 ION Lightweight Tech Binding

The new G3 ION touring binding

G3 is looking to give Dynafit a run for their money, entering the tech binding market with their newly released ION binding. Weighing in at 585 grams per binding (1,170 grams per pair) the binding is light weight on the up hill, but still provides the downhill performance you need and expect. The binding is built from high strength aluminum which is hot forged and features metal on metal [โ€ฆ]
