Petzl Irvis 10-Point Crampon

Petzl Irvis 10-Point Crampon description

Petzl designed the Irvis FL Walking Crampons to give you excellent traction for basic glacier travel while limiting the number of point to keep you pants safer from crampon attacks. These 10-poing crampons get the job done on any terrain where your only other aid is an ice axe. The Irvis FL Walking Crampon's full-strap Flexlock binding system attaches to any boots. You could even strap these Petzl crampons to your running shoes in a pinch. They also include Anti-snow plates to prevent annoying and dangerous snowballing in wet-snow conditions.

Bottom Line: Get on the glacier with the Petzl Irvis FL Walking Crampons.

If you need crampons for basic winter hiking these are fine and cheap. They are easy to adjust, will fit any boot (including flexible boots like my 3-season Montrails) and are fast and easy to put on. The front and back rubber bracing wraps nicely around the boot without causing any pressure points, uncomfortable rubbing or blood flow interruption (hence no cold feet). I wore them for prolonged periods both uphill and downhill and had no trouble at all. Bottom line: great value for basic winter walking / glacier crossing / etc...
