What is Ski Binding DIN?
The DIN is the force needed to release your ski boot from your bindings. It's set when bindings are mounted onto your skis.
DIN is the German Institute for Standardization, the industry-adopted scale of release force settings for ski bindings. The DIN setting is set based on your weight, height and skill level. The lower the DIN, the lower the force required to release from your bindings.
