DIN is not a macho factor. Nobody cares what your din is, they care how good of a skier you are.

Im a super aggressive skier (droppin' 20-30 foot cliffs, 95% of the time skiing at 40 mph plus) and am 6'3 185. I ski at 10-11 DIN max. In the park i hit decently large booters, and 11 DIN holds me in fine.

12 right now, and I probably don't need it that high, and I'm 6'2 220. I could easily ride at 10 and be perfectly fine. Some of you kids are idiots and are going to blow your knees.

Basically no one here needs a binding with a DIN range higher than 12.

High enough for them to stay on when they should, low enough for them to release when they should. I'm 80kg.

18/18 always maxed out. No pain no gain. I'm the best skier on the mountain. I weigh 0 kg, I'm an Elf.
