The Tour F12 follows on the huge success of Marker’s Duke binding. The Tour employs similar toe and heel-pieces as the Royal Family of bindings (Duke, Jester, Griffin, etc.), which sits on a wider base designed specifically for fat skis. The major difference is the weight: The Tour comes in at just 3.8 pounds, ideal for backcountry skinning missions. Plus, the glove-friendly release lever means you can keep your hands warm and dry while switching modes.
