Sooo I got some look pivot 14s for my next pair of skis and I was wondering what din I should set them to. I weigh 150 and my current bindings on the skis I have now (somewhere around 2011 or 2013 marker griffon) are set to 10. Any suggestions?

Ten seems a little high for your weight but if you're an agressive skier then I would keep it around there on the FKS

Lmao. No, DO NOT crank them up.

If youre an advanced skier, 8-10 is probably good. If your not an advanced skier, refer to the DIN chart.

If you don't already know what to set your DIN's at either ask someone at a shop who is qualified to tell you or learn how to correctly set them on your own through research.

NS is going to tell you 10+ because HELLA BUTTERS BRO, I doubt you need above an 8.

At the end of the day don't trust people on the internet to protect your knees.

I weigh 165 and ride mine at 10 to 12. You may want to onsider lowering them, but definitely have a ski tech get the actual release values.
