These Strap On Crampons are a must-have for hikers facing winter trails or venturing above the bush line. Weighing just 600 grams including the storage bag, the Vuno Capricorn AC02 crampons offer essential ice traction without slowing you down. Built with 10 manganese steel teeth per crampon, each up to 2.5 cm long, they provide strong grip on packed snow, ice, and frozen terrain. Whether you're planning alpine hikes or icy river crossings, these crampons help prevent slips and injuries.
Fits Most Hiking Boots and Shoes
The crampons fit a wide range of footwear, from US size 6 to 13.5. However, extra-wide shoes above size 11 may not fit as securely. A supplied adjustment key lets you change the length easily. TPU straps and nylon bindings secure the crampons snugly around your boots. Always fasten the buckle at the tongue of your boot to prevent shifting during use.
