The Fritschi ski crampons offer quick and easy attachment for added bite on icy, technical skin tracks. The use of a rotating adapter will allow you to adjust how deep the crampon bites from each of the three riser settings. Machined teeth ensure great bite in icy-but-punchy snow, and an aluminum construction keeps things light and fast whether on your skis or in your pack. The Fritschi Vipec ski crampons are sold in pairs and are only compatible with Vipec and Tecton bindings. 292g / pair [100mm]

Update 2021/22: Fritschi did away with the riser that let you control how deep the crampons would bite. Instead, they made the teeth a little longer to bite deeper when using any of the risers. Overall this saved about an ounce of weight per crampon, which is partially recovered by the inclusion of a carry bag.
Hey Paul, the 100mm would be my first choice so long as there is no rubbing on the sidewall. If the 100mm doesn't work, then the 115mm would be the only choice.

My general inclination is that newer = better so I would normally go for the updated crampon. However, the riser feature in the older version sounds good. Given I could buy either, which is better?

Hi Matthew, if you see yourself wanting to dial in your crampon performance by adjusting the riser, get the older one. If you're more of a set it and forget it person, the latest model's for you.

My skis under the Fritschi Vipec binding is 116 mm. Will the 115 mm still work?
Looks like we measured the internal width of the 115mm ski crampon at 116mm. It will be very tight, but it could work depending on how slanted your sidewalls are, and where the crampon ends up on the ski. For confirmation, reach out to help@skimo.co!

Do these work with the older model Vipec bindings (not Evo)?
Based on your ski waist width, the 115mm width ski crampons would be your best bet. If you have further questions, feel free to reach out to help@skimo.co!

I have a pair of 178cm Voile Hyper V6 skis 131/99/111 with the Fritschi Tecton 12 bindings. I've read to be careful not to undersize the ski crampon, but also not to get one that is too big. With a 99mm waist, will the 100mm crampon fit, or would it be safer to go with the 115mm? Since 99mm is the narrowest, couldn't the measurement be wider where my toepiece is mounted?
Hi Mark, the ones labeled 2020/21 in the drop list will have the riser piece. That was removed for this season.

I have Blackcrows Camox Freebirds, 97mm underfoot. From other responses, it seems that you all down-rated the sizes from the BD site to the maximum waist that will work with each size, but not for the 100mm size. Will the 100mm fit on a 97mm ski?
Parker, I did some looking around and here is what I have dug up. Some companies call the "large" size a 115mm, some 120mm. I also read reviews that said it doesn't fit over a 120mm ski, which explains why we call it a 115mm. Ski crampons do not bend easily or much at all, either, so don't hope to be able to bend these to fit.
Hey Jeff, thanks for looking into that. Is there another option I could use for a wider ski? Do you think the G3 crampon would be able to fit between the toe and heel of the Vipec or Tecton, for example?

Hey guys,
Any stock available for the vipec crampons over 105mm ?
Hi Gary, I'd suggest ordering your crampon based upon the stated waist width of your ski. For example, when selecting a crampon for my Atomic Backland 95, I know that I need a crampon wider than 95mm. Which means I would go with the 115mm in this crampon.
Hi Gary, the crampon fits just behind your toe piece so that is the critical width.

I have a dynafit Manaslu 181 cm ski with 91 mm waist and Tecton bindings. Do you think the 90 mm crampons would fit or should I go with the 115 mm crampons? Thanks, Fabrizio
Fabrizio, I've checked a few 91mm waist skis with the 90mm crampon and it seems to fit the skis we have. With that I would recommend the 90mm crampon. When measured the inside of the crampon measures between 93-94mm.

A little confused regarding the listed size of the Fritschi crampon listed above. I have a pair of 114mm skis. The Black Diamond website lists a 120mm crampon. You list a 115mm. Did Fritschi change the specs later in the product cycle, or what?
Hey Gordon, 115mm is the width at the shoulder and the teeth flair out to 120mm. At 114mm you'll be fine, 115mm is the max, any wider and the crampon won't be able to deploy fully. -Trace

What would be the right size crampon for the Blizzard Zero G 95? Would the 95 work? 115? Thanks in advance.
