Is the brake wide enough for your skis?

Your skis’ waist width will determine the ski brake width (the distance between the two brake arms). For example, if your skis are 80mm wide at the waist, you will need bindings with a brake width of at least 80 mm and preferably no wider than 95 mm. If your brakes are too narrow they will not clear the edges of your skis and will not deploy properly when your ski comes off.  If your brakes are too wide they may drag when you put your skis on edge, especially on steeper terrain.

Important Notice: Ski bindings should always be mounted and adjusted by a certified ski binding technician. This chart is only intended to give you an idea of the general DIN range you need. There are a number of factors which influence binding adjustment and the settings must be precise, so use this information to help select an appropriate model of binding without mounting or adjusting the binding yourself.
