Ski Bindings that Fit your Ski and your Style from Sears

While choosing fun colors for your bindings is important, picking the right binding type, with the perfect DIN range and brake width makes for an ideal ski set. A combination of your style, experience level, age, height weight and other factors contribute to finding well-balanced skis. From advanced black diamond skiers to bunny hill beginners, Sears has the perfect set of bindings for everyone interested in this wintertime sport.

The first step in selecting binding is considering your DIN range. The DIN range is an industry-wide standard of measurement to help skiers determine which binding to use. The number ranges from .75 to 16. Higher numbers are ideal for aggressive and taller skiers. Youth skiers should choose from .75 to about 10 on the DIN scale. If the skier has smaller sized ski boots for their age and experience level, they will increase the torque of the ski, so consider balancing it out with a higher DIN binding. Finding the perfect binding for your skis, starts with choosing the right DIN for your size and experience level. Sears has a variety of bindings with different DIN numbers so finding the right combination is easy.

Once you've determined what DIN number you need, decide how durable you need your bindings to be. The higher the DIN number, the more wear and tear manufacturers assume you put on your bindings. Bindings are made out of heavy metals or steel to endure tricks and high speeds. Like ski poles, durability for bindings makes the difference. At high speeds, you don't want your ski pole or bindings breaking on you. Basic skis are not ideal for freestyle or high-speed riders. This could lead to injury on the slopes. It's important to buy equipment that fits your experience level.

The last factor to consider when choosing a binding is the brake width. While all bindings require a safety brake, it's not one-size-fits-all. The rule of thumb is that your brakes should be as wide as the middle of your ski and no bigger than 20mm larger than the middle of the ski. Excess width leads to dragging, which can damage the brake. Find all the best ski accessories like bindings, skiing racks and skis when you shop at Sears.

The different types of bindings can be overwhelming if you don't know exactly what you need. Before you buy, think about what type of skier you are and how often you go. This can help you determine what type of binding is right for you. From beginners to advanced level skiers, Sears has the perfect binding for everyone.
