The Marker Comp 12 GW binding is a high performance, race inspired binding packed with tons of tech for maximum edge grip and control, making it a perfect option for lighter adults or juniors looking for a race binding. The burly construction of the Comp 12 is complimented by a gliding AFD plate and TCX heel to ensure the highest level of safety and performance.

Why we like it:

The Marker Comp 12 GW utilizes trickle-down race tech for top-end performance, offering a great option for younger or lighter weight racers.

Who it's for:

Skiers looking for race-level performance in a lower DIN range.

Highlights:

The Marker Comp 12 binding is loaded with tech that comes directly out of the race room. The Comp Toe piece functions to absorb vibrations and feedback from the snow, keeping the boot stable and centered. The TwinCam X heel piece is designed with greater elasticity in the release, which increases binding-to-boot connectivity for more control throughout the turn. Finally, the Gliding AFD ensures a precise release that’s unhindered by snow or ice buildup.

Things to consider:

The Marker Comp 12 binding is best suited to narrower-bodied race-oriented skis, so those looking to put this on a wider ski will find there are better options out there for that application.

Boot Compatibility:

The Marker Comp 12 is compatible with ISO 5355 Alpine DIN and ISO 23223 GripWalk boot soles.
