STEEL is REAL! Utilizing the same innovations and components from the original aluminum KTS, like the LeafSpring® extender bar and collapsible heel, this new chromoly steel version was designed for more abusive terrain.
The points are 1/4" longer and a bit sharper thanks to the thinner material. When durability and sharpness are more important than light weight, choose the steel model. Perfect for non-technical mountaineering, glacier travel, peak bagging, hiking or rock approaches.
There are a couple of things that really set the Kahtoola Crampons apart from all the other crampons on the market. First off all the Extender Bar between the toe and the heel piece is a double layer leaf-spring. Kahtoola's extender bar flexes with your footwear which is absolutely critical if you are using your crampons on lightweight boots or trail running shoes. Other crampons were not designed to flex and run, Kahtoolas are!
The other design element is that 1" spikes reduce snagging, ankle twisting, and snow packing between spikes. All of this enables you to travel faster while still providing traction. They are also one of the lightest and most compact crampons on the market.
Straps and quick-release buckles make it easy to put the Kahtoola Traction System on any shoe. Three extender bars of different length are included and can be changed easily without tools. The folding heel support and collapsible design make for compact storage.
Ideal for non-technical mountaineering, adventure racing, winter walking, hiking & trail running, etc.
