Does the Din on an Touring Binding differ from that on a Alpine Binding.
I have skied Alpine Bindings with the DIN set at 7 or 8 and have never come out by overpowering the DIN set by the tech for my weight and ability. So is the Tour Binding DIN different. If not a DIN range up to 10 would suffice yes or no?

Provided you're using Alpine DIN boots the DIN is the same. Using rocker-soled AT boots changes the release character slightly, though you can get your local shop to test the release for you.

DIN is the same whatever kind of binding you're on.
