The elastic MountTrack crampons feature a stainless steel chain on the sole and a special, horseshoe-shaped, 14-point plate, made entirely of noble heat treated steel, providing an efficient grip. Simply put them over your footwear and tighten them with the velcro strap. The crampons are both discreet and comfortable. Storing is easy thanks to a convenient carrying case, equipped with a carabiner and a belt attachment. MountTrack crampons are designed for use on snowy and icy terrain by more demanding hikers and mountaineers. These are not designed to be used for extreme mountaineering.
