It’s also worth noting that if you’re looking to use your AT setup to get to a booter that you’re then going to bootpack, you can leave the Daymakers at the bottom of the jump and not have the weight of them on your shoulder while hiking up, unlike frame bindings. Of course, you’re still moving the weight of the adapters and alpine bindings across the snow, but combined with the more natural stride of Daymakers, I think the decreased weight that you have to move up with your boot makes them better on the uphill than frame bindings.

Compared to frame bindings, Daymakers create less weight directly attached to your boots. That said, you should also note the weight that you’re actually lifting up. The weight of the adapters themselves is heavier than almost all tech / pin bindings on the market, and then with the Daymakers you also have to take into account the weight of your regular alpine bindings, all of which are also heavier than tech / pin bindings. Luke: Our pair of the Daymaker Adapters are coming in at an average weight of 738.5 grams per adapter. Once you’ve adjusted the Daymakers to your BSL, and assuming your bindings are set properly to that same BSL, all you have to do is attach the adapters to your boots and step into the bindings like you would without an adapter on your boot. They say their adapters will work with all LOOK bindings except for the PX 15 and PX 18. Luke: Daymaker says that their current adapters (as of fall, 2020) work with all alpine bindings from Marker, Rossignol, Tyrolia, Atomic, Salomon, and Knee. Given that the majority of more downhill-oriented touring boots seem to be getting GripWalk soles, and the fact that Daymaker Adapters will likely not be appealing to people who are counting grams, the less-than-ideal compatibility with full-rubber touring soles typically seen on lighter touring boots doesn’t seem like a huge issue, though it’s worth noting.

I’ve been able to get a pretty good fit with the full-rubber soles of the Tecnica Zero G Tour Pro and the Daymaker’s GripWalk toe bails, though it doesn’t feel quite as secure compared to boots with alpine or GripWalk soles.

We’ve been using both the standard toe bails and GripWalk toe bails and they’ve worked seamlessly with alpine and GripWalk soles, respectively.Īs for boots with full-rubber, rockered, ISO 9355 touring soles, it depends. If you want both the alpine toe bails and GripWalk toe bails, it’ll cost you $10 extra dollars when purchasing the adapters, or $15 if you purchase the extra set of toe bails afterward. If you intend to use them with GripWalk soles, Daymaker asks that you note so in the order comments and they’ll then ship you longer GripWalk toe bails. In terms of compatibility, the Daymaker Adapters are set up to work out-of-the-box with boots with regular, ISO 5355 alpine soles or GripWalk soles.

They’re very easy to flick up with your hands, and I’ve become pretty efficient when it comes to flicking them up or down with the handle of a ski pole. The risers are pretty simple metal bars that extend on the outside of the adapter. Then the Daymaker Adapters have two climbing risers, which reportedly equate to 10° and 18°, respectively.
