Upon receiving the adapter, we allow for light usage (up to about 3 days of touring) to decide if it is the right product for you. The time to validate this gaurantee is within 30 days of receiving the adapter. Anything outside of this, we will make our best effort to come to a fair price buyback if you do not like the product.

If any components are broken within 365 days of the purchase, we will replace it at no charge, only shipping costs. We sell all parts on our website or by emailing us, and will gladly assist you in restoring your adapters! Our goal is to ensure that every adapter can be repaired and used or resold to stay out of landfills.

We ship worldwide generally for free! We do not pay for sales tax (VAT, GST, PST) or import duties. This is the sole responsibility of the Importer upon delivery.  Please visit our International Orders page for more details, or email us at info@daymakertouring.com for further details.

We typically ship with UPS EXPEDITED (3-10 DAYS) or DHL Express (2-7 Days).

Import fees outside of the USA vary from nation to nation, but they typically range from $30USD to $60 USD per pair of adapters. Many nations do not get charged any import fee on our adapters. Please consult your governments import policy from the USA on products under the HS code 95061240 (ski bindings/fasteners). 

While rare, we may charge up to a 10% restocking fee for international orders that are returned based on the exchange rate from the date of purchase to the final refunding date. 
Example: You purchase an adapter in february in Euros for 280 Euros (294 USD) with a 1:1.05 exchange rate. The rate changes in april when you are returning to 1 euro : 1.15 USD. Daymaker touring must refund 280 euros which is now 322 USD. The difference in price was approximately 10% that Daymaker Touring loses to the exchange rate.

The Daymakers Classic adapters do not require touring boots! just standard downhill ski boots (no pin receptacles). The Tekdapters adapters require toe pin compatible ski boots

The Boot Sole Length is how long your ski boot is, in millimeters. This is the industry standard for sizing bindings and measuring ski boots. It is located on the outside of your plastic boot shell, near the heel in small numbers. This number typically ranges between 260mm and 355mm. 

This varies from "Mondo size" which ranges from a 22.0 to a 32.0 

Please visit this page here https://www.daymakertouring.com/pages/presetup-info for a visual detail on how to locate BSL

1. How do I fit it to my boots or bindings? 

The adapters simply clamp around your ski boot, and then you step into your ski bindings as you normally would! Please visit this video tutorial or Daymakers written tutorial page for Fall 2021 and later adapters, or the owners manual and pre 2021 video tutorial (adapters prior to Fall 2021) for further details. 

2. Do I need touring boots?

No, you do not need touring boots to work with the Classics! Our alpine adapters are one of the only products on the market aside from framed ski bindings that allow a normal ski boot to be used for ski touring. Most other systems now require a tech compatible ski boot which typically costs an additional 400-$800 to begin ski touring. 

3. Can I use ski touring or walk-mode boots?

Yes! Daymakers will work with all boots that have an iso 5355 sole. This is for downhill ski boots. Daymakers will also function with Gripwalk soles, common to walkmode/ski touring boots and are now becoming the industry standard. You can select the gripwalk option in the dropdown for boot type when ordering Daymakers.

This varies from "Mondo size" which ranges from a 22.0 to a 32.0

4. Do you recommend any spare parts?

 If you weigh over 190lbs without gear, we recommend 2 spare pivot bolts located here .

For trips to desolate regions  having a spare rear linkage  is a good idea. Damage to this linkage may be easily avoided by clearing out snow/ice buildup from the Daymakers properly when making the skin track in deep/packy snow. Please see this video here on proper usage 

1. How do I fit it to my boots or bindings? 

The Tekdapters should be fit by putting them into your ski binding, expanding the adapter out to your boot size and then closing the length adjustment lever. You then clamp it into your ski binding. Next, activate the Teklock jaw system to clamp your tech-toe boot into place. Full instructions located here 

2. Do I need touring boots?

Yes, TEKDAPTERS require a tech-toe compatible ski boot.

3. Do you recommend any spare parts?

 All TEKDAPTERS spare parts are located here. We recommend a dry bag.

Wondering which bindings to pair with our adapters? The simple answer is that any ski binding you own works with our adapters! If you are looking to purchase another binding, we recommend the following:

Marker Bindings: We recommend the Jester 16 (1054g/side) or Marker Griffon (1019g/side). The Marker binding series is substantially lighter than LOOK bindings and has a reliable release. Tests have shown it's lack of elastic range to be one of the safest bindings on the market. It also features an adjustable AFD for varying ski boot heights which is great if you plan to get gripwalk boots. 

Tyrolia Attack series : We recommend this binding for it's reliable release mechanisms, adjustable AFD height for gripwalk or normal downhill ski boot soles, and above all -- its weight. The Tyrolia Attack seems to pack the most bang per ounce. Checkout the AAAttack 13 GW (1035g/side). It is also the most affordable or on par with the Marker Griffon.  

The look Look Pivot series (12,14, or 18 Din) offer trusted high performance and an unsurpassed retention. Most users can get away with the 14 DIN (1155g/side) for powder skiing while saving 200g of weight versus the pivot 18 or 15(1245g/side) all metal series. We really like the ease of clicking down into this binding whereas other bindings require much more stepping pressure to clip into. However, the binding does rotate which can be difficult to step into in powder situations.

We believe that the best balance of quality, durability, and price lies with the Big Sky Mountain Products skins that we resell! That is why we only sell 1 type of skin - to make your choice easy. Please visit our skins page herefor more information!

It is always important to select a backpack size appropriate to your needs. You should have at least a 20L pack, but we suggest starting with a 32L backpack with a stomach and chest strap. 

- 1 large compartment for your wet items (daymakers, skins, shovel, probe)
- A dry compartment for extra layers, goggles, etc.
- A spot for food/water storage. 

How to pack your bag with Daymakers

We recommend that you pack your adapters inside your backpack. If you do not have space and want to strap them to the outside of your bag, do so securely. It IS CRUCIAL THAT YOU REMOVE THE HEEL BAIL/CLAMP FROM THE ADAPTER AND PUT THIS INSIDE YOUR BACKPACK!! This assembly is likely to fall off while skiing. We sell dry bags that are custom made to perfectly fit the adapters and spare parts. The dry bag can attach to the outside of your backpack, or go inside and keep snow off of your items.

In the backpack, we typically pack the Adapters in a wet storage area of your pack with the shovel and skins. I like to lay the adapters side by side with the bottoms facing my back. I then place my skins over the adapter to create an extra cushion barrier between my back and the adapters. 

Things get lost! Email us at info@daymakertouring.com and we will see what we can do to find you a single unit or used adapter to replace the lost one with at a discounted price.

You won't need to buy a full new pair!
