 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

PhillipStanton, I think they're on about Marker Duke bindings. Don't know much about it except its freeride alpine touring binding with the emphasis on the freeride. Aimed at mental people who want to jump off cliffs.
Have I got that right?

 Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

rich, kinda, 16 DIN, nice 'low' riser height (for a touring binding). It's still pretty heavy but it's pretty burly, it's hard to buy bindings over 14 DIN, and this one is ideal for hitting the 'slackcountry'. If I was a skier I'd get a few pairs...

Thanks rich and parlor - someone had mentioned these to me a few days ago, but not by name.
There's a bit on PisteHors over here.

I should also say that the toe piece on one of MrsPhillipStanton's two week old Marker bindings fell apart off-piste in the Combe d'Angolon. It was a far from pleasant experience getting out of the bowl. Those of you who've met MrsPhillipStanton will know that she's far from burly. Very, very far from burly.
I do hope these are built better

I'm very glad to hear it SMALLZOOKEEPER.
The experience went to show how far 500m of powder bowl is if you've only got one ski.

PhillipStanton, surely you've got claim against the makers there if they weren't up to two weeks skiing - from what I see all ski kit is sufficiently pricey that I'd think I'd be miffed if something didn't stand 2 weeks use.

 And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.
