Crampons – Strap-On & Adjustable Grip for Hiking in NZ

Stay safe on icy trails with our selection of crampons designed for New Zealand’s alpine, bush, and winter terrain. Whether you’re crossing frozen ridgelines or trekking icy tracks in Fiordland or the Central Plateau, the right pair of crampons can make all the difference.

Understanding Crampon Types

• Flexible Crampons: Lightweight and easy to carry, these are ideal for urban snow, frosty trails, or day walks. Perfect for shoes or boots and available in sizes for both medium and large feet.
• Strap-On Crampons: These models offer a firm grip with 10 or more steel teeth and secure to most hiking boots using adjustable straps. Great for steeper bush tracks or snow-covered open ground.
• Adjustable Crampons: Designed for technical terrain or longer use. These crampons offer added adjustability and teeth length, suiting users tackling backcountry ascents or alpine tramping routes.

Choosing the Right Size and Style

For general day hiking or icy trail walking, flexible models fit most shoes and provide reliable traction. Strap-on models with 10 or 12 teeth offer a stronger grip on inclines and fit over most hiking boots. For full alpine use, look for crampons with adjustable length and hardened steel spikes, such as 14-tooth models for serious terrain.
