About the DIN Calculator

The DIN calculator gives a rough guide to the release setting of ski bindings based on weight, age and skier type. DIN values set how much force releases the boot, which protects knees in a fall. Official settings follow ISO 11088 and also depend on boot sole length and height, so have bindings set and tested by a certified ski technician.

How to use it

  1. 1Enter your weight and age.
  2. 2Enter your boot sole length.
  3. 3Choose your skier type and read the indicative setting.

Worked example

a 75 kg, 30-year-old Type 2 skier gets an indicative mid-range setting; a cautious Type 1 skier of the same size would get a lower one.

Common use cases

  • Understanding binding settings
  • Preparing for a ski-shop visit
  • Checking rental equipment
