Marker (alpine bindings)

Marker has been a manufacturer of alpine ski bindings since 1952. Founded by Hannes Marker, the company is known for pioneering releasable binding technology. Marker's first model, the Duplex, led the way and was followed in 1953 by the highest binding ever, the simplex toe. This new releasable technology greatly reduces injuries to skiers by detaching the ski from the foot during a fall. Marker bindings are often paired with Völkl skis, although they can be mounted on most manufacturers' skis. Marker has since expanded in to the helmet, goggle, and outerwear industries. They are currently owned by ski maker K2 Sports.
