Kahtoola® Traction Crampons
Frozen trails, slick waterways, black ice — you don’t have to be a hard-core mountaineer to appreciate the safety advantages of crampons. What makes the Kahtoola Traction Crampons virtually unrivaled is their versatility and flexibility. Unlike the more technical step-in or adjustable crampons that require still-soled mountaineering boots, the 10-point Kahtoolas feature a versatile strap and support system that adjusts to any type of closed-top footwear — from sneakers to lightweight hikers, even pac boots. This is where their flexibility comes in because the LeafSpring® Extender Bar allows shoes and boots to flex naturally, so you don’t have to hobble your natural gait. KTS are made from a tough aluminum alloy, weigh just 1.2 pounds per pair and fold up into their own compact eight-inch tote sack.
