Find the right DIN range
Ski bindings secure your boots to your skis and release when needed. Release settings are known as DIN.
- Lower DIN: Releases with less force; best for lighter, beginner to intermediate or cautious skiers
- Higher DIN: More force is required to release; best for heavier, advanced or aggressive skiers
Match skill to DIN ranges
- Beginner-intermediate: 3-10
- Advanced: Up to 14, 15 or 16
- Juniors: Up to 7
Pro tip: Brands often include the highest DIN value in the product name.
Brake width
Choose brakes that fit your ski waist width—equal to or up to 15mm wider.
