Replacement ski bindings, compared

A binding is bought on two numbers and neither of them tolerates rounding. The DIN range is the release setting, and only two of the five bindings here publish one: Z 2–7.5 on the junior, Z 4–14 on the freeride model. The other three carry a 4, an 11 and a 12 in their model names and no range anywhere. The range has to bracket the skier — a setting at the very bottom or the very top of a binding's range is a binding used outside what it was designed for, and the consequence is a release that comes too early or not at all. The brake width is the second: 76, 90, 110 and 115 on the bindings here, and it must match the waist of the ski. Too narrow and it will not go on; too wide and the brake arms drag in a turn. The third figure is the one listings hide: the sole standard the binding accepts. GripWalk soles, classic alpine ISO 5355 and touring soles are not universally interchangeable, and a binding marked GripWalk-compatible is making a statement the others are not. Then the practical matters: whether the binding is sold with a mounting plate and screws or bare, and its stand height, which changes the leverage the skier has over the edge. This shelf is polluted by a different product — ski straps and wrap bands sold under the same word — and they live on their own shelf here for that reason. We compare DIN range, brake width, sole standards, stand height, mounting, spare brakes and weight per pair.

How we assess products

The live figure beside a product went and asked the shop for it the moment this page opened; any amount written into the text has not moved since the sentence was drafted, and it is the first of the two that counts.
