Charging like a Mustang downhill
Slightly heavy for uphill (one trick to solve that is to combine it with light skis such as BC navis freebird), however, once you lock in your boots, make sure to click your seat belt or at least deep powder skirt. This thing can ride fast with stable and precise control downhill. It will make all you sweat hiking up worth it. Practice as well with switching between ski and hike modes at home so you get use to it. One drawback I noticed so far is icing inside the tech pin part of the binding, you all need to clear that before skiing down. I heard it is a common issue with many hybrid bindings.
Don't buy - Fatal design flaw
Just like the other reviewers below, the tip that releases the toe from touring to alpine mode broke off after three tours. I too, like the other reviewers, hope Marker figures this out because the binding otherwise is great, it just has a major, glaring design flaw that renders them useless.
Fatal defect
The Touring Lock lever sheared off of the right hand binding on an easy tour traverse at our local hill where I was just trying them out - on second use on a short 45 min uphill tour - just a short easy. Ridiculous! Fortunately the hike down wasn’t too bad as I was in-bounds. But had this happened out in actual backcountry… yikes! I am now seeing others reporting the same experience. I’ve never had bindings do this before. This is a fatal defect. Hey Marker — Please fix this this issue and don’t give up on these bindings. I love the downhill performance. I just sadly removed and returned the offending bindings to REI for a full refund. I expect you are receiving a big pile of similar broken ones. But all that said, I will happily buy another pair again — if you can fix this one big problem and make them the top shelf product I expect from your Marker.
Front binding lever fatal flaw
I just had to bail from my first ski tour with these bindings. The level on the front binding that puts it in tour mode sheared fight off on my hands. I’ve seen other reviews where this exact thing happened. This product is made substandard and should be taken off the market immediately.
