Keep in mind: some hybrid touring boots will have a standard alpine sole, not gripwalk. I think the video misleadingly said that you can only use alpine boots with alpine bindings, but you can use alpine boots with gripwalk and MNC (multi-norm certified) bindings
best explanation yet... thanks
When selecting proper DIN settings your age is important factor you didn’t mention. All binding technical manuals will recommend that for skiers 9 and under or 50 and over the DIN settings is reduced by moving up the chart to the line above which is a lower setting. When selecting bindings it’s important to use all the required factors to be sure the binding is in the proper adjustment range.
To correctly calculate a DIN, you need
DIN chart of the binding manufacturer
weight
height
skier type I, II, or III
skier's age 9 yrs. old and younger or 50 yrs. old or older
a skier that is 48 lbs. or lighter can only be maximum skier type II
Should I lift the locker in the front of the bindings when going downhill? I have dynafit tech bindings.
I wonder if binding w 90mm brake width would fit to a ski with 85mm on waist? Ski manufacturer recommends -8cm binding mounting.
Manufacturers recommend a brake width equal to or no more than +15 mm of the waist width of the ski. So using 90 mm on an 85 mm waisted ski is definitely well within recommendation.
This video is presented perfectly, but I'm not sure whom it is for. The information is for people who know almost nothing about ski bindings (ie, beginner skiers), and beginners never need to chose bindings because they simply rent skis when they ski...
So older ski boots are not compatible with new grip walk bindings ?
Alpine boots will step into GW bindings, but GW boots will not step into alpine bindings.
This video should have been titled "how to choose alpine ski bindings". There are other bindings out there, like several cross country bindings and telemark bindings.
75 mm Telemark and NNN BC classic XC are what I am all about. I woud be using NTN but I cannot afford it !!!
cute
Why do yolu get someone with horrible vocal fry to explain this? Can't watch this
