If you've ever tried to skin up a steep, blank, icy face without ski crampons, you will immediately appreciate the value of the security they provide. By plunging into hard snow ice, the crampon teeth add grip when skins don't make full contact or you're slipping downhill. Whether you are chasing someone up a greasy skin track in the winter or trying to time the corn cycle in the spring, the Dynafit Ski Crampons will have you covered. Sold in pairs.
Machined with grooves that provide strength but keep the weight down (weights listed below).
Available in 80mm, 90mm, 100mm, 110mm, 120mm, and 130mm sizes to fit the width of your ski.
Easily slide into crampon receptors built into most tech bindings on the market.
** Please note that ski crampons work best with low heel riser settings. Since your boot is what drives the teeth into the snow, very high riser positions will result in a shallow purchase for the teeth. This can also be remedied by adding spacers on top of the crampons, which has the obvious drawback of adding weight.
They work and haven't broken, despite being one of my most abused pieces of gear when they actually do get used. That's a win in my books.
The teeth have enough bite for either flat or a middle riser setting on a 3 setting binding. For a high riser, a shim would probably be in order, but honestly, if I'm in that situation it's probably time to start booting.

Hey, I have 179cm Line Sick Days (110 underfoot), do I need the 110 or 120mm crampon? Thank you!!!
Hi Caitlin, either would work fine. The newer 90s are a touch lighter and sharper than the older 88s.

Just got a pair of K2 Wayback 82s. I have B & D ski crampons for my 90 waisted BD Aspects. I believe the size 90 B & D ski crampons is really 93 mm to allow for comfortable spacing. My question is do I need to get a new pair of smaller crampons for my new 82s? Like the B & D 83mm (which is really 86) or am I good using my existing 90s(93). I'm worried that there will be too much space. Guaranteed the Dynafit 80 crampon is too small right? Thanks in advance! 174cm K2 Wayback 82 w/Speed Turn 2.0/176 Black Diamond Aspect w/Vertical ST.
I just ordered a pair of Dynafit Cho Oyu skis and skins from you guys--stoked to get them out for some PNW spring skiing! But, darnit, I forgot to order ski crampons... My skis are the 166 length and supposedly they are 87mm underfoot. Just wanted to check that the 88mm crampon (Blue 12/13) will work. Obviously the specs say is 1mm wider than the ski...and they are both Dynafit so measurements should be consistent...but I figured it wouldn't hurt to double check :-). Thanks! -Gavin
Hi Gavin, unfortunately those rub a little bit due to the ski being a bit wider where the crampon sits.

Will this crampon work on Dynafit third generation model binding? (yes I know they are very old but the handmade love still works and fluorescent colors). Skiing with a 100mm ski.
Hi Pete, we don't have one on hand to verify but the interface hasn't changed much recently.

I have Rossignol Soul 7 188 cm (with waist width 108mm) and I use it with a Dynafit Radical ST 2.0 binding and a Scarpa Maestrale RS boots. Is 110mm a good size for the crampons?
You say "This can also be remedied by adding spacers on top of the crampons". Do you sell these spacers? If not, do you know where I can purchase them?
Hi Joe, it can work reasonably well, though extra width can put torque on your crampon receptor, which can bend depending on binding model.

Hi, I have a Carbon Convert and a BD Carbon Megawatt. The Convert is 105 at the waist, and the Megawatt is 120 at the waist. Will the 120 crampon fit the Megawatt or do I need the 130? And I'm assuming I need the 110 for the Convert, is that right?
Hi Doug, the 120 will be close, and will depend on the size of your boot. Worth a shot. The 110 is a definite on the Convert.

Hi, thanks for the answer. I got the 130 for the Carbon Megawatt and the 110 for the Carbon Convert.
The 110 slides very easily on the Carbon Convert (with Speed Radical Dynafit binding), and slides right off as needed. Very slick.
However, the 130 takes a ton of sliding, twisting, and pushing to get both on and off the Carbon Megawatt (with ST Radical Dynafit binding). None of this has to do with side clearance, but simply how easy (or crazy difficult) the crampon is to slide on and off in the slots.
Any tips for me? I would hate to have to wrestle that thing once I'm up on the mountain. I'm not really wanting to carry a rubber mallet (what I literally has to use the first time on and off).
Hi Doug, does your ST toe plate have a little plastic wall behind the receptor? You can bend that back or remove it altogether.

Is there any functional difference between the 12/13 88mm and current 90mm versions? (Will be using on 82mm ski) I'm using with Vertical ST bindings. Do I need to add anything to be able to attach the crampon?
Hi JVR, yes the 90s will work with that boot and ski.
