I have learned a lot about skis and boots but never researched bindings. I was recently looking at bindings and I have to honestly say that I have never put to much thought into buying them. I typically have bought bindings that have a DIN range of 4-12 and I generally spend between $110 -$150 Last few sets of bindings have been the Rossignol Axium 120, Salomon Z12 and Look PX12 - they all have worked well for me IMO. The shop always sets by DIN to 7-8.
So here are the questions. If my DIN setting is always around 7-8 do you really need a binding with a DIN range of 4-12? Or is a binding with a DIN range of 3-10 ok? What is the point of bindings with DIN ceilings of 16 or 18? Does anyone ever set then that high besides professional skiers? Are bindings that cost $300-$400 dollars that much better?
please opine!
