Shopping for ski & snowboard bindings and boots starts with a category decision, not a feature shootout: do you need a ski-binding unit, or a snowboard boot-and-bindings combo? Marker Griffon 13 and System MTN serve different purchases, so the right choice follows the setup you are building.
Quick verdict
Choose Marker Griffon 13 Ski Bindings 2024 if you want a ski binding with a DIN 4.0-13.0 range and the Triple Pivot Elite 3 Toe System. Choose System MTN Rear Entry Step in Bindings w/Pro Twist Boots Men's Boot and Bindings Combo if you want snowboard boots and bindings packaged together with rear-entry step-in hardware.
The absolute price spread is $69.96, with Marker at the lower end. That difference matters, but category fit matters more: Marker is the ski-binding route, while System MTN is the snowboard combo route.

Where each product wins
Marker Griffon 13 wins for a ski-binding brief
Marker is the clearer choice when the shopping list starts with ski bindings. Its title is specific to skiing and identifies the DIN range and toe system, while its description names use across freeride, freestyle, park, and pipe settings. It is also $69.96 lower than System MTN. That makes the decision simple for someone shopping for the binding component rather than a combined boot package.
System MTN wins for an all-in-one snowboard purchase
System MTN is the better fit when one purchase needs to cover snowboard boots and bindings. The title combines rear-entry step-in bindings with Pro Twist Boots and identifies a men's boot-and-bindings combo. That is a direct match for a shopper who wants the boot and binding pieces named together, rather than a ski-binding unit. Its higher listed price reflects the broader package rather than a like-for-like binding comparison.
Product notes
Marker Griffon 13 Ski Bindings 2024
Marker Griffon 13 is the focused choice for a skier who wants to select the binding component separately. The title calls out a DIN 4.0-13.0 range and Triple Pivot Elite 3 Toe System; the description adds an Inter Pivot 3 Freeride Heel, Anti Ice Rail, and Multinorm technology for Touring, GripWalk, and Alpine boots. It also describes the binding around freeride, freestyle, park, and pipe use, giving the purchase a clearly ski-oriented brief. The limitation is scope: the title presents ski bindings, not a boot-and-bindings combo. That makes it less direct for someone shopping for snowboard boots and bindings together.
System MTN Rear Entry Step in Bindings w/Pro Twist Boots
System MTN suits a snowboarder who wants the boots and bindings addressed in one package. Its title specifies rear-entry step-in bindings, Pro Twist Boots, and a men's boot-and-bindings combo. The description highlights a hi-back that drops so the rider can slide a foot in, along with a design intended to make getting in and out easier. The concrete limitation is category fit: this is a snowboard setup, so it is not the route for someone specifically shopping for alpine ski bindings. The men's wording also makes the package a more specific fit than a general ski-binding purchase.
Final choice by use case
- Choose Marker Griffon 13 for ski bindings, especially when its ski-specific title and listed DIN 4.0-13.0 range match the purchase brief.
- Choose System MTN for a snowboard boot-and-bindings combo, where the package format is more important than comparing binding prices alone.
- Choose the lower-priced Marker only when ski bindings are what you need; the $69.96 spread does not make the two setups interchangeable.
There is no universal winner here. Marker Griffon 13 is the direct ski-binding choice, while System MTN is the direct snowboard combo choice.
