With durable Marker Tour F10 randonee bindings you can spend the morning riding the lifts and come afternoon skin the backcountry in search of fresh lines.

Switch between downhill and touring mode using the levers located under your boots; lever position eliminates the chance of accidentally switching to touring mode while skiing
Switching the levers to touring mode moves the bindings 40mm backward on the ski for a more balanced stepping motion and easier kick turning on steep slopes
Marker Tour F10 bindings feature DIN release settings that are adjustable from 3 - 10
Compact triple-pivot toes on the bindings provide reliable release during falls
Hollow aluminum axles in the heels reduce weight while maximizing torsional stiffness; heels absorb energy to minimize unwanted release
Gliding antifriction devices at the toes of the bindings are height adjustable to accommodate randonee and alpine boots
Titanium climbing aids flip into 2 positions to raise your heels 7° or 13° and are easily accessed with a ski pole
Elastomer padding on the climbing aids reduces the "clack" noise often heard when skinning with randonee bindings
Included 90mm brakes fit all-mountain skis and effectively stop runaway skis; brakes can be easily removed if desired
Ski crampons (not included) can be attached underfoot to increase climbing performance on icy slopes
Mounting configuration requires a 76mm minimum ski width
Size small fits boot sole lengths ranging from 265 - 325mm; size large fits boot sole lengths ranging from 305 - 365mm

Please note: Marker products can only be shipped to U.S. addresses.

Comments about Marker Tour F10 Randonee Bindings - 2010/2011:

I have these on my downhill skis just in case for those few days I decide to tour with them and I have a few times, but these are insanely heavy. good workout for the glutes! should be noted that I also have a pair of dynafits for my touring skis. I would recommend these for folks who only tour occasionally or ski in places like Bridger with lots of side country, but not if you wanna do long tours, or a lot of them.

The raiser bar is silly short for such a heavy binding. rising it, or putting it down is kinda a pain and sometime you have to kneel down. they don't go up steep stuff very well.

also, they really suck if you are doing short laps; they are really hard to get back into ski mode after the ice built up from touring mode.

Comments about Marker Tour F10 Randonee Bindings - 2010/2011:

I ski about 50/50 resort/backcountry. When I bought these bindings, the idea I had was that I'd be able to tour with reasonable efficiency and comfort and would basically have a regular, bomber step-in binding for the ski-area. While it's true that these bindings are essentially indistinguishable from regular alpine bindings on the way down, they are pretty darn uncomfortable on the way up. For the money, you're not getting much by way of touring chops. Granted, I haven't had any durability issues with the climbing bar or any other part of the touring assembly (although I did snap the plastic off one of the brakes). But I have pretty much given up on them as a touring binding and will be buying a pair of Dynafits for this season. My advice to any perspective buyer is that, even if you plan on doing a good deal of in-bounds skiing, you should consider the similarly-pricey-but-proven dynafit bindings. Chances are that you'll end up there anyway!

Useless for backcountry skiing

By Sam Grossberg

Comments about Marker Tour F10 Randonee Bindings - 2010/2011:

I find it difficult to believe that anyone at Marker actually toured with these bindings before taking them to market. They work great as downhill bindings, but their name and features imply they are intended for "touring". I'm not even sure they are good enough to justify using for a short hike from the top of the lift let alone touring.

From day 1, they have been a nightmare during the transition from hiking back to skiing. I've needed to use a knife to scrape out ice so that the bindings will close. By my 3rd backcountry trip, the heel lifters became worse than useless. "Worse than useless" sounds like hyperbole. I assure you that I do not exaggerate. Useless implies that the product gives the user no material benefit (true). Besides giving me no material benefit (not staying in position for longer than 2 minutes, literally falling off into the snow), one heel lifter got bent out of shape in such a way that we had to spend half an hour destroying the back of the binding in order to get the binding back into hike mode. Worse than useless.

Skinning without heel lifters is quite a challenge. Before considering these bindings, please try taking a long tour without heel lifters.
