Finding the right binding is an important step to bring the best out of your skis. Bindings with different properties will fit different skis and skiers, the wrong pair of bindings on a good pair of skis can make the skiing experience bad.

The most simple trick to find the right binding is the ski minus 1kg rule. If you take the weight of one ski and subtract one kilo you will have the approximate weight of a good binding for that ski. This rule of thumb is valid for all skis from the lightest constructions to heavy freeride skis with alpine bindings. The ski boot can have the same weight as the ski, but boots are even more personal.

​

However this rule does not give you any guideline for the functions of the binding, so we have made a list where we advise typical binding weight groups to branches on the EVI tree. All weights are for one binding with screws included.

​

<200 gr: Bindings whith as low weight as possible are good for skis under 1kg. These bindings lack ski brakes, adjustment of length and release, and need to be mounted exactly with your boot to work at all. We do not approve of bindings like these for ordinary customers and will not mount them for you.

​

200-400 gr: Bindings in this weight range can have adjustment, ski brakes and good performance, but not all functions in the same binding at once. These bindings fit our lightest skis on the 6, 7- and 8 branch.

​

400-600 gr: These are the most versatile fully functional touring bindings. Like with all sports equipment the lightest full function bindings are also the most expensive ones. These bindings work well with the skis on the 5, 6 and 7 branch.

​

600-900 gr: The heaviest ordinary ski touring bindings and can be suitable for use with -as much resort skiing as ski touring. The Bindings are (or should) allways be fully functional with a predictible release and good boot hold on all conditions. These bindings are good with skis on the 3 and 5 branch.

​

900-1200 gr: These are hybrid bindings or light alpine bindings. If you want a pure alpine rig but want to be able to walk with them, you will find options in this category. These bindings will suit skis on the 1, 2 and 4 branch.

​

>1200 gr: Powerful alpine bindings or old fashioned frame bindings, suit skis on the 4 branch.
