BCA Alpine Trekkers are really the only ones.
Pros: use your regular bindings, cheaper then ATs
Cons: finicky, heavy, break, expensive

trekkers pissed me off so much
just buy a duke or wait for the baron. it's pricy but totally worth it in terms of energy saved skinning. if you wait and buy them over the summer you might get a cheap pair

Trekkers are great if you're occasionally doing quick, mellow skins or only go out a couple times a year. If you plan on sidehilling ice or crust or doing anything really lengthy they suck teh ballz. For jump/cliff access they're awesome, but for actually touring they are far from optimal. Find a used pair and give 'em a shot before you make the decision to get a real AT setup, trekkers hold their value really well.
