Marker

Founded in Garmisch, Germany, in 1952 by ski instructor and pioneer Hannes Marker, Marker has been a world leader in ski binding innovation for over seven decades. The brand is credited with introducing the first commercially successful releasable safety binding, the Duplex, which fundamentally changed the sport by prioritizing skier safety.

Today, Marker is renowned for its high-performance engineering across alpine, freeride, and touring disciplines. Key milestones include the 2007 launch of the "Royal Family" (featuring the iconic Duke and Jester), which defined the modern standard for freeskiing, and the introduction of the Kingpin, a revolutionary pin-technology touring binding. Beyond bindings, the company has expanded its expertise into protective gear, including helmets, goggles, and body protection, all while maintaining a commitment to technical precision and technical precision and sustainable manufacturing.
