Marker: an iconic brand of ski bindings and helmets

A heritage of innovation since 1952

Founded in 1952 by Hannes Marker, the Bavarian company Marker quickly established itself as a major player in the ski world. From the beginning, this traditional company made history by revolutionizing the ski binding market with a major invention: the world's first ski binding with a forward release, called Marker Duplex. Presented at the Wiesbaden sports goods fair, this innovation laid the foundation for the development of safety equipment in skiing.

A key role in the development of modern skiing

Hannes Marker, a former ski instructor from Garmisch, Germany, played a decisive role in popularizing skiing as an accessible and safe sport. His technical vision and innovative capacity allowed Marker to become an influential and respected brand worldwide. Today, Marker is known for high-quality products that combine safety, performance, and comfort, meeting the demands of both professional and amateur skiers.

A complete and innovative range of ski bindings

The brand offers a wide selection of bindings adapted to all skiing practices. For freeride, flagship models such as the Duke and Griffon offer robustness and reliability, allowing skiers to explore the most demanding terrains with confidence. In the ski touring sector, the Kingpin and Cruise bindings stand out for their lightness and efficiency, facilitating ascents while ensuring optimal safety during descent.

High-performance and safe ski helmets

In addition to bindings, Marker offers a range of helmets designed to protect while providing maximum comfort. The In Mold and MIPS technologies are at the heart of their models, ensuring optimal shock absorption and better protection against rotational impacts. Among the iconic models are the Phoenix, Companion, and Squad, combining modern design and advanced features to satisfy the expectations of demanding skiers.

A brand synonymous with quality and innovation

Over the decades, Marker has maintained its spirit of innovation while developing products that respond to the evolution of skiing.
