{"product_id":"marker-touring-leash-alpinist-26-27","title":"Touring Leash Alpinist 26\/27","description":"\u003cp\u003eMarker's touring leash, made for the Alpinist and Kingpin. It clips between the binding and your boot so that if the binding releases, the ski stays attached to you rather than heading downhill on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA leash is the trade you accept when you take the brakes off. It keeps the ski with you, but a tethered ski in a slide or an avalanche is a liability rather than an asset, and it is one more thing to clip and unclip at every transition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor anyone running a brakeless touring setup. If your bindings have brakes fitted you do not need these, and plenty of experienced tourers deliberately choose brakes over leashes for exactly the reason above.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClip it to the boot rather than around your ankle or a pant leg, and check the attachment point before every tour. The one time it matters is the one time you will not have checked.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmall, light, and the reason a lost ski stays a minor inconvenience instead of a very long walk out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marker","offers":[{"title":"One Size","offer_id":49578620649710,"sku":"883295304639","price":65.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0823\/9955\/9918\/files\/marker_2324_touring-leash-marker-alpinist_L002S1A.jpg?v=1790699903","url":"https:\/\/mountainopsvt.com\/products\/marker-touring-leash-alpinist-26-27","provider":"Mountain Ops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
