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.
"Classic" Style: Traditional, slide-in-from-the-side crampons that will work with most bindings with "Dynafit-style" receptors.
"Quick In" Style: Same compatibility as the Classic Style with the ability to drop-in vertically on certain newer* Dynafit bindings for faster and easier attachment.
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.
* Drop-in attachment works on the Dynafit DNA, Mezzalama, Ridge, Seven Summits, and future Dynafit bindings.
** 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.
Thanks for the question, Nick. You'll be using the 100mm brake on that particular ski. Also, you'll be using 100mm crampons should you be in the market for those as well.

I haven't seen it, but is it possible that you could list the dimension from inside to inside walls of the ski crampons?
For instance, what is the space between the inside walls on the 110 mm crampon?
George, thanks for reaching out. I measured several sizes and there is about 2mm of wiggle room. The 110mm crampon I measured came out to 111mm. Hope that helps.

I need a dynafit ski crampon for a 112 underfoot ski. Will the 110 work or do I have to go with the 120mm?
Thanks for your question, Julie. The 120 would probably be the best option for your ski as the 110 might rub on your sidewall. Please let us know if you have any other questions!

Do I need to buy just one set to cover both my skis or two? also will these work on the speed turn 2.0 dynafit bindings?
Jared, they will work with all Dynafit bindings. One set will work for both if you get one for the wider ski.

I’m 106 underfoot with a radical AT. For some reason, I have a dynafit 120 crampon. Is it ok that I have ample overhang or does that get problematic with ice build up? Doing a Shuksan tour in mid April...
Thanks for your question, Mark. Typically, you want as little overhang as possible. Since we utilize the edge of our skis for grip, too large of an overlap would create an excess of force on the outside of your crampon, which could result in it breaking. As such, the 110 crampons would be the best option for your skis! Please let us know if you have any other questions.

I have dynamite 100 crampons and dynastie M tour skis. The size is correct but I find the crampons don’t grip if I have the risers under my heals. Is there a trick to over come this? As generally we need the crampons when it’s steep so need the heal risers as well?
Alexandra, thanks for reaching out. Ski crampons do a great job assisting with edge hold and give the extra bite into hard snow to keep you from blowing an edge. Instead of using the high riser, it may be more appropriate to set a mellow skin track so you can step on the crampon and get the purchase you need on the lower riser. If you feel that you must go the direct route maybe consider transitioning to boot packing with crampons. I hope this helps, if you have any more questions feel free to email us a help@skimo.co.
Life in the Pacific Northwest means you may need ski crampons in any season, and these are great. 130mm fits most splitboard setups, the rest scale to your quiver accordingly. I like to add a couple thick plastic washers and aluminum hardware to customize the heel strike for riser use, but you can also buy pre-made heel links. There's nothing like starting that volcano ascent, breaking trail on day three of a traverse, or going high after it rains and refreezes to 8000' and hearing the "scheeerk, scheeerk" of ski crampons safely scraping you to your destination. Recommended pairing: BD carbon whippet or Petzl Ride/Gully ice axe strapped to a ski pole.

Bought the movement session 98s with hagan pro 12 bindings. Assuming the dynafit 100s are my best bet? Ski crampons are gonna be solid late season when it is corn and BGTs/crampons are overkill? trying to best understand the utility.
Billy Goat Tech Ascent Plates are great for midseason, when the snow is soft enough for a post-hole filled slog. Ski crampons are great for spring ski mountaineering season, when the dawn patrol leaves you ascending refrozen snow on the hunt for mid-afternoon corn. If you do need to switch to boot packing, regular crampons will do the trick as the snow will be frozen.
Based on your ski width, the 100mm ski crampon makes the most sense depending on where you are mounted. If you have any further questions, reach out to us at help@skimo.co.

Two quick questions: 1) Do the Dynafit Ski Crampons fit on/compatible with Market Alpinist bindings? 2) If so, do they fit true to size, i.e. I have Volkl BMT 90mm under foot so I assume the 90mm crampon or size up one to the 100mm? Thank you in advance for your response!
Hi Brian, Unfortunately no, the Dynafit crampons are not compatible with the Alpinist binding. You will want the "Marker Pintech Ski Crampon", here is a link: https://skimo.co/marker-pintech-crampons
They tend to have a few millimeters of space, You should be fine with the 90. Best of luck out there, Tim
Hi, I have 2 questions! I am right on the edge for both of my skis. I'm just not quite sure of the fit for these crampons!
1: I was wondering if a 110mm crampon would fit a 108mm underfoot ski? Or should I get the 120mm crampons? 2: For my 102mm underfoot ski should I get the 110mm crampon or is there a little wiggle room to get a 100mm crampon?
Hey Katie, the 110mm crampon should work just fine with that 108mm underfoot ski. As for the 102mm underfoot ski you would need to go with the 110mm crampon.

Hi! I have two sets of skis - a 108 and 96 waist, both with ATK bindings (108 and 97mm brakes respectively). I was wondering if it makes sense to buy just one set of crampons? Looking at 110mm wide crampons and have them fit both skis. Would that work
You should be all good with the single set of crampons! You'll have a bit of overhang when the 110mm crampon is on the 96mm ski, but it won't affect the performance.
