Dynafit Youngstar Touring Binding

The Dynafit Youngstar Touring Binding is a pin binding built for kids and small skiers up to 57 kg who are starting to tour with their families. The Flow Toe uses elastomers to take the toe out of the release equation, so release stays consistent across a low 2 to 5 range, lateral and vertical. At 360 g per binding with brakes and 50 mm of length adjustment that grows with the skier, the Youngstar suits first tours, family days and young skiers moving into touring boots.

Why We Like It

  • Release runs from 2 to 5, below the minimum setting of 4 or 5 on Dynafit's adult pin bindings.
  • The Flow Toe uses elastomers to keep the toe from adding to the release value, so the heel setting governs release.
  • 50 mm of length adjustment lets the binding follow a growing skier through several boot sizes without remounting.
  • Controls are sized so kids can lock, unlock and switch modes themselves, which speeds up family transitions.

Best Uses

  • Kids' first ski tours
  • Family touring days
  • Young skiers up to 57 kg
  • Light adults who need release from 2 to 5

Mounting and Setup Advice

Have a shop set release for the skier's weight, height, age and boot sole length, and recheck it each season as they grow. The maximum skier weight is 57 kg; above that, move to an adult binding. Each time a new boot goes in, the heel position and release need resetting.

Kids' touring boots need certified tech inserts at the toe and heel. Pick the brake by ski waist: the 75 to 94 mm brake for skis in that range, the 95 to 108 mm brake for wider skis.

What boots work with the Dynafit Youngstar Touring Binding?

Who should set the release on the Youngstar?
A shop should set lateral and vertical release, from 2 to 5, for the skier's weight, height, age and boot sole length, and recheck it each season as the skier grows.
Will the Youngstar grow with my child?
Yes, within limits. 50 mm of length adjustment covers several boot sizes without remounting, up to the 57 kg weight limit. Reset the heel and recheck release with each new boot.
How much does the Youngstar weigh?

Our Verdict

The Dynafit Youngstar Touring Binding gives kids a pin binding that fits them rather than a scaled-down adult binding: release from 2 to 5, a Flow Toe that keeps release consistent, and controls sized for small hands. At 360 g per binding with brakes and 50 mm of length adjustment, the Youngstar follows a growing skier for several seasons. Skiers over 57 kg should move to the Seven Summits Plus or ST Rotation 10; families starting kids on touring should start here.

The Dynafit Youngstar is a kids' pin touring binding with 2 to 5 release, a Flow Toe, brakes and 50 mm of length adjustment, at 360 g per binding for skiers up to 57 kg.
