I am getting some new bindings. I am 6' 2" 175+ Ibs and still growing. The bindings that I currently use go up to 11 and I am finding myself still falling out too easily sometimes.

What bindings do you currently ride? Depending if youre bombing cliffs and 60ft+ kickers, you can still be perfectly fine with a 12 din binding. I would suggest ANY brand 12 din binding except for marker. Those would not hold up with your weight unless you are willing to shell out $300 for their better bindings

what is your din currently set at? At your height and weight you should probably be on a 14 din binding that has more metal in it. I would suggest sth 14 drivers or fks 140s if you've got the $

What bindings are they? There is more likely a forward pressure issue with them then them "just falling off". What tricks are you doing when they fall off. Any patten?

iffe's awesome bindings list:

- Look Pivot/Rossignol FKS 14/18
- Marker Jester (Pro)
- Salomon STH 12/14/16 Driver
- Salomon STH 16 Steel

Some of these have quite a high bottom DIN. Don't buy them, of course, if the DIN range doesn't suit you.

Also to the OP: have your forward pressure checked before bumping up the DIN. 11 sounds quite high unless you go really hard.
