The DIN setting is the release force setting of a ski binding. It is the value that determines the amount of force effect needed for a binding to release in order to keep the skier from being injured.Apr 24, 2019
Is DIN 11 enough?
For most women and lighter men (100 - 170lbs), a 10 or 11 max binding DIN should be sufficient. For larger individuals (160 - 250lbs) a 12 -14 max binding DIN would be more appropriate. Usually, only folks who weigh around 250lbs or pro/competition skiers will use a binding with a max DIN higher than 14.
Should front and back DIN settings be the same?
The tensions for the front and the back of the binding are set separately, and can be set to different values if required, although generally they are set to the same value. The DIN range available can change between different bindings, and it is important to use a binding with the right range for you.
What should my din be set to?
The average beginner male will release from his bindings at a DIN setting of 6 or between 194 to 271 Nm of torque, while the average advanced male will release from his bindings at a setting of 8.5 between 271 and 380 Nm.
How do I find my din?
- To find allottee information from a DIN Number, visit the Verify DIN/DPIN search facility.
- To find DIN number from allottee information, visit the DIN approval letter facility.
How important is DIN setting?
You will find a DIN number in both the toe and heel portions of the binding of your ski. A higher DIN number means that more force needs to be applied to the binding before it releases. A lower setting, meanwhile, will release at a much lighter pressure. Only trained technicians should adjust DIN settings.Jul 14, 2020
How high should my DIN be?
“Within a setting, we expect the boot sole to release within a certain torque range.” The average beginner male will release from his bindings at a DIN setting of 6 or between 194 to 271 Nm of torque, while the average advanced male will release from his bindings at a setting of 8.5 between 271 and 380 Nm.
How high of DIN do I need?
You want to consider your weight and ability to determine the correct din setting for you. Generally, the heavier and more advanced skier will require a higher DIN setting. Well lighter and less experienced skiers will benefit from a lower din setting. ... The wider the ski is, the wider the binding break will need to be.
What happens if your din is too low?
If the setting is too low the ski may spontaneously release during the ride (in an aggressive turn, after landing even a small jump, when hitting a pile of heavier snow, even clanking ski tips together may release a soft binding). This will be a cause for a fall. Both scenarios are dangerous.
