TEKLOCK SYSTEM

The most essential unit of the TEKDAPTERS. The TEKLOCK system is made possible by the unique Jaw Plate component.

  • TEKLOCK Jaw Plate

    This highly machined T6 Aluminum part utilizes compliant zones that flex within the materials range of elastic deformation to close the pins directly onto the tech inserts in the toe of your boot. This is superior to a pivoting closure as there is zero slop, zero wear, less weight and more strength.

  • Universal Binding Interface

    THE TEKLOCK Jaw Plate has been painstakingly designed referencing 3d scan data collected from every major binding on the market. The carefully considered cutouts on the front of the Jaw Plates precisely wrap around even the deepest and widest toe pieces, like the infamous Salomon STH series, giving you the freedom to ski tour on your most trusted bindings for the utmost in backcountry performance and safety.

  • Glove & Ski Pole Friendly TEKLOCK Lever

    Lock into the TEKDAPTERS with an easy to operate quick release lever. Unlock the system with an oversized lever loop designed to fit your ski pole, avoiding the need to bend down to step out of the adapter.

SOLE-SYNC™ QUICK ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM

The Sole-Sync™ system makes setting up TEKDAPTERS to match your boot soles a breeze. Collapse the TEKDAPTERS from a maximum length of 345mm down to a minuscule 255mm with the flip of a switch!

  • Z-Clamp Quick Release

    With the flick of a glove-friendly quick release lever, the TEKDAPTERS unlock both alphabetically scaled telescopic tubes at once for fast and effortless resizing with a range of 255mm to 345mm.

  • Customize Your Size

    The telescopic tubes can be trimmed just like ski poles, to reduce the pack-size down to an unobtrusive 205mm in length. An internal topout cord, which keeps the TEKDAPTERS from overextending, can be tied off for a super fast and precise deployment to your exact boot size, every time. You can even remove the quick release and set the adapters to your exact boot size, saving 180g/pair with the Carbon Fixed Length Tube Set

  • Tool-Free AFD Adjust

    The tool free Anti Friction Device (AFD) Shims are easily adjustable to match the exact thickness of your boot soles. From Gripwalk soles (ISO 9355) to Downhill (ISO 5355), SOLESYNC has got you covered, no matter how worn down your boots get.  Have an ISO 9523 touring boot sole (MNC)? No problem! We sell an additional kit to replace the shim.

Carbon Fiber Fixed Length Tube Set

Customize your Tekdapters by removing the SoleSync length adjust system and lockout the length - saving 160g/pair & a precise fit everytime!

PITCH SWITCH RISER SYSTEM

Ascend confidently on the most challenging terrain with the Tekdapters 3-position PITCH SWITCH riser system. 

  • Field Goal Guide Rails

    Each position of the PITCH SWITCH features our unique "Field Goal Guide Rails" designed to guide your boot into place as you step down. This gives you powerful edging capability for tricky terrain. The spring loaded cam mechanism inside the PITCHSWITCH ensures precise location of the risers making it incredibly fast and easy to operate with your ski pole.

  • Traction Grooves

    The upright positions of the PITCHSWITCH feature traction grooves to further grip your boot sole so you can confidently tackle steep traverses and challenging kick turns without slipping.

  • Neutral Stance Compensation

    Just like the beloved DAYMAKERS CLASSIC, the TEKDAPTERS' lowest mode is designed at  -2º. This negative angle compensates for the forward ramp built into your ski boots, and provides for an incredibly comfortable upright stance while touring flat terrain, ridge lines, and mellow descents.

THOUGHTFUL DESIGN AT EVERY LEVEL

The TEKDAPTERS from Daymaker Touring have been thoughtfully designed and meticulously engineered at every level to be lightweight, dependable, and easy to use for years and years of service.To achieve the most feature-loaded adapter ever at the lightest weight, every detail of TEKDAPTERS serves function.

  • Ice Shedding

    Hydrophobic materials with polished gloss finishes are utilized to prevent ice buildup in key locations. The open, ported design of the cam mechanism ensures ice and snow can be mechanically ejected each time the elevator is cycled. This ensures trouble free operation in the deepest and most packable snow conditions.

  • High Strength Materials & Simulations

    A chasis built from a blend of Ultra-light Carbon infused Nylon, impact-resistant POM plastic, and high-strength Aluminum alloys. Every piece of this adapter system ran through complex computer simulations and prototype testing for the optimal shape to minimize material thickness.

  • Modularity and Sustainability

    We believe the best form of sustainability is by producing a completely modular system that can be easily worked on by the consumer. Our replacement parts are easily purchased through our website to ensure your adapter can be used for decades to come.

Here for the skiing

Spent many seasons on the originals which provided me many laps. The tekdapters are a step up and provide a lighter, stronger and more functional climb. Ski with real bindings and every ski in your quiver? Ya, Tekdapters are the only answer.

These adapters are the perfect tool for jumping cliffs or having a booter session in the backcountry on your trusted alpine bindings.

If you're like me and have a favourite heavy duty binding (STH 16) for freeride skiing, you're not going to want to risk using anything else that's not as durable, or that could cause injury. Not only are these adapters light and compact, but they are extremely durable and won't let you down. They are also very quick to transition.

Another note is if you're travelling on planes a lot like me with multiple pairs of skis, these adapters will work on all of them. Makes choosing your quiver so much easier.

A Versatile Option for High-Performance Skiers with Existing Big Mountain Setups

I’m purchasing this product on behalf of a friend, and this is my second time buying it. The concept of this product is excellent; it allows the use of regular big mountain skis and bindings. I think this product is more suitable for high-performance skiers who aren’t concerned about weight but insist on using Alpine boots, bindings, and skis. Currently, there are some Alpine boots with only a toe pin on the market, like the Fischer RC4 Pro MV DYN BOA that appears in the video, which pairs well with this product. In my opinion, its concept is similar to Cast, but Cast can only be used with the Look Pivot 15/18 bindings. If you already have a setup that you really like with a big mountain or powder ski and binding, this product is a great alternative.

Although the design of this product is very good, and the craftsmanship is excellent, using these bindings still requires boots with tech pins and skins, and the price of these bindings is almost similar to some discounted tech bindings. In terms of cost, it essentially only saves the price of a pair of skis, and we know there are many discounted touring skis on the market, which are actually very cheap. If you choose a purely touring setup, you also get the added advantage of weight savings. If possible, I would be very excited to see the function of DAYMAKERS CLASSIC that doesn’t require tech pin boots incorporated into this product, while keeping the weight roughly the same. This would make the product even more appealing.
