Marker F 10

  • 2011-03-25 20:09:25

    For the past 3 or 4 years I have been skiing off the backside of ski resorts on my k2 sidestash skis and my marker griffon bindings. That is all of my 'backcountry' experience. I have a beacon and a shovel and a pack, ya know the whole setup but I was thinking next year I get a new legit AT setup. This means new skis, new bindings and new boots. I need some help deciding on boots and bindings. I like the black diamound quadrant boots with the onyx g3 bindings, but I am a big fan of my marker bindings. Marker makes the f10 which I'm also very interested, but I need help deciding on a good boot if I go with the f10. I will be spending most of my time hiking up to peaks probably in revelstoke with some buddys. Any suggestions? Should I do the onyx g3 with the quadrants or go with the f 10s? and if I go with the f 10s, what are some types of boots I should look at?

    There is a post for a pair of F12's on this site over here and we are working on getting a pair of the markers for review so we have a more accurate info for you, so if you are still in need of them next season we should have a full review for you and it can be found on our gear review page here.
