DIN (Deutsche Industrie Norm) is a parameter defining the force with which ski bindings hold the boot. Proper setting of binding release force is a safety matter - incorrectly set DIN can lead to injuries or dangerous situations on the slope.
๐ What is DIN?
DIN is a scale from 0.75 to 18+ defining the binding release force. Higher DIN = more force needed to release the boot.
- Low DIN (2-4): Children, light beginners
- Medium DIN (5-8): Most recreational skiers
- High DIN (9-12): Advanced, aggressive skiers
- Very high DIN (13+): Professionals, extreme sports
โ ๏ธ Why is DIN So Important?
Too Low DIN - Accidental Releases
- Boot releases during normal skiing
- Dangerous release on jump or bump
Too High DIN - No Release During Fall
- Bindings won't release during fall
- Risk of knee injury! (ACL tear)
๐ What Determines DIN Value?
- Body weight - main factor
- Boot size - larger boot = higher DIN
- Skill level - beginner/intermediate/advanced
- Age - 50+ = lower DIN

DIN (binding release force) is a crucial safety parameter. Proper DIN must be individually adjusted based on weight, boot size, skill level, and age. At Carving Wisลa rental we professionally set bindings according to ISO standards. Your safety is our business!
