Model 164 Snowshoe - QuickFit Binding/Ice Cleat

Starting at $240

Ideal for a day on the trails or hiking in poor conditions, the Model 164 w/QuickFit Binding & Ice Cleat keeps you moving forward. The lightweight abrasion-resistant decking & Ice Cleat both provide durability, while the QuickFit Binding offers versatile sizing for any size shoe or boot.

  • Hand Crafted, Aircraft Grade Aluminum
  • Heel Cleat has Teflon Hardcoat to help prevent ice and snow from sticking
  • Sleeve-joined Tubing for Added Strength
  • Neoprene Springs on Hinge for Constant Tension and Improved Articulation
  • Lightweight, Abrasion Resistant Decking
  • Interlocking Decking at Tip and Tail is covered with Polyurethane Scrape Plates and Double Riveted
  • Quick-turn Fasteners for Interchangeable Bindings and Cleats
  • Made in USA
  • The Quick-Fit Binding is designed to fit comfortably with any size shoe or boot.

    They go on quickly and stay secured at any speed or on any terrain.

    The Base is the same for all sizes. The Straps are a NEW system (Special type of Hook and Loop) and designed to keep the strap from loosening with sudden turns or movement. The Straps are inserted according to size needed and are interchangeable. This means that you won't have excess strap length to worry about but, at any point, you can change strap sizes or type without getting a whole new snowshoe or binding.

    The advantage of the Quick-Fit is that it is a "custom fit" and once set, it has virtually no excess strap length and snaps on and off quickly.

    Small option fits narrow shoes
    Regular option fits up to size 11 running shoe
    Large option fits up to size 14 and most boots

Excellent Well-Built Snowshoes

My Dion 164s are great on rolling terrain including steep hills. The QuickFit bindings work well. The Ice Cleats give good traction under typical conditions. I also got a set of Deep Cleats, which increase traction in deeper snow.

It took me a while to get used to the popping sound made by the backs of the snowshoes snapping up after each step and hitting my boot heels. That happens mostly on beaten-down trails. Since the upward heel motion also kicks snow onto the backs of my legs, I wear snow gaiters.

I also plan to use the 164s on mountain trails. They don’t have perimeter teeth built into the frame like MSR snowshoes, so they probably wouldn't give as much side-to-side stability, if that’s important to you. However, the Dions are significantly lighter than most other snowshoes including MSRs.

The Dion 164s are well-built and versatile. Easy for me to give them 5 stars.

2nd pair of Dions!

I got was introduced to snowshoe racing three years ago. I love it! Dion steered me right with the 121 frames. I decided to get some larger ones for trekking and some climbing. Again Dion steered me right. Got the 164 frames. Quick fit bindings on both pairs. Easy to "shoe up" and never loosen.
