XLC 490 Crampon

A crampon is a traction device that attaches to your footwear, designed to improve your grip and stability on snow and ice. If you plan to hike, climb, or traverse icy terrains, using crampons can significantly enhance your safety and mobility, preventing slips and falls.

Anti-balling plates are attached to crampons to prevent snow from accumulating underneath them. When snow builds up, it can reduce traction, making it harder to walk. These plates are essential for maintaining optimal performance and safety, especially in deep snow conditions.

A universal strap-on crampon features a versatile attachment system that uses straps to secure the crampon to various types of boots. This design allows you to use the same crampon with different footwear, making it a convenient choice for those who may not have specialized climbing boots.

A 3D pressed frame is created using a manufacturing technique that shapes the frame into a three-dimensional form, enhancing its strength and stability. This construction method improves the overall performance of the crampon, making it more durable and effective on challenging terrains.

Wear indicators are visual markers on the sides of the crampon that show when the points are worn down and need replacement. They are crucial for monitoring the condition of your equipment, ensuring you maintain optimal performance and safety while using your crampons.

While crampons are designed to fit a variety of boots, it's important to choose a crampon that is compatible with your specific footwear. Universal strap-on crampons are a great option as they can be adjusted to fit many different types of boots, but always check the manufacturer's guidelines for compatibility to ensure a secure fit.
