Daymaker Touring TekDapters

10/10 Would Highly Recommend

As an aspiring backcountry skier I started from humble beginnings by using snowshoes to ascend with my skis on my back for the descent. This was cumbersome and inefficient. However, I knew there had to be a better option. Some sort of adapter that would let me tap into my growing quiver of skis… plus I didn’t need more equipment (let alone afford the price tag of a full backcountry setup). That’s where the Daymakers came in! With the easy assembly to fit my downhill bindings and a cheap set of skins I was fully equipped to tackle the backcountry/sidecountry. The engineering involved to keep the adapter lightweight yet pivot effortlessly and have the rigidity to climb without swaying is phenomenal. Full disclosure - I’m a fairly advanced skier in the northeast and mainly use these to ski side-country lines. (80% on-piste)

Pretty much the only way to knee-safe ski-tour

These things are heavy and clunky but.... if you want to use real bindings on the way down, these are pretty much the only good choice for skiing up. They let me do what I love while staying as safe as I can. And they don't break.

Solid for mid length tours!

It’s a little bit on the heavier side but functions great, they take a few minutes to get used to as they raise you above your bindings but they feel solid and are great for mind length tours. I love them for tuckermans!
