The Marker Comp 16 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 hard-charging piste skiers. The beefed up construction of the Comp 16 is complimented by a gliding AFD plate and Twin Cam heel to ensure the highest levels of safety and performance.

Why we like it:

The Marker Comp 16 GW utilizes all the best trickle-down race tech for top-end performance, with the added benefit of being GripWalk compatible.

Who it's for:

Advanced to expert piste skiers looking for excellent power transfer will love the Marker Comp 16 binding.

Highlights:

The Marker Comp 16 GW binding is loaded with tech that comes directly out of the race room. By manufacturing several integral parts in the toe and heel out of lightweight magnesium instead of plastic, Marker keeps the weight down and the power transfer at maximum. The TwinCam heel piece is designed with greater elasticity in the release, which increases boot connectivity for more control through the turn. Finally, the Gliding AFD ensures a proper and precise release that’s unhindered by dirt, snow, or ice buildup.

Things to consider:

For skiers on wider bodied all-mountain and freeride skis, there are better options as the Marker Comp 16 is best suited for narrower, frontside oriented skis where power and precision are the highest priorities.

Boot Compatibility:

The Marker Comp 16 binding is compatible with ISO 5355 Alpine DIN and ISO 23223 GripWalk boot soles.
