Tyrolia Downhill Skiing Bindings

Find the right DIN range:

Ski bindings connect your boots to your skis but must also release at the right moment. Release settings are known as DIN, and bindings come with a DIN range.

• Lower DIN: The binding releases with less pressure; ideal for lighter, moderate or cautious skiers.

• Higher DIN: More force is required for the binding to release the boot; ideal for more aggressive, advanced, heavier skiers.

Match your skill level to the binding:

• Beginner to intermediate: Typically a DIN range of 3-10.
• Advanced: DIN range up to 14, 15, or even 16.
• Juniors: Kids' bindings have a much lower DIN range—typically with a high DIN of 7.

Pro tip: Brands often include the upper DIN value in the product name.

Choose the right brake width

Make sure the brake fits the waist width of your skis. The brakes should be equal to or no more than 15mm wider than the ski waist.

Boot compatibility

Most new ski bindings are MNC (multi-norm compatible) and can work with nearly all boot types—GripWalk, Alpine and Walk to Ride.
