Prime Universal Splitboard Crampon

6061-T6 Aluminum is a high-strength, lightweight alloy commonly used in outdoor gear. Its composition includes magnesium and silicon, and the "T6" designation means it has been heat-treated for enhanced strength. This makes it ideal for products like crampons, where durability and weight savings are crucial for performance in challenging conditions.

The Karakoram Prime System Bindings provide a secure and efficient connection between your snowboard and boots. This system enhances control and responsiveness, especially in backcountry and freeride snowboarding. With these bindings, you can expect better performance on varied terrain, making your rides smoother and more enjoyable.

Crampons are traction devices that attach to your footwear, featuring metal spikes or teeth that grip ice and snow. They are essential for snowboarding in backcountry conditions, as they provide the necessary traction to navigate slippery terrain safely, allowing you to climb and traverse icy surfaces with confidence.

Serrated teeth are the jagged edges on crampons that dig into snow and ice, similar to a serrated knife cutting through tough materials. This design significantly improves traction on hardpack and icy surfaces, ensuring you maintain stability and control while snowboarding in challenging conditions.

A cored-out design involves removing material from specific areas of the crampon to reduce weight without compromising strength. This lightweight design is particularly beneficial for users who need to carry their gear uphill while touring in the backcountry, making it easier to manage your equipment during long treks.

While many crampons are designed to be compatible with a range of snowboard boots, it's essential to check the specifications of both the crampons and your boots to ensure a secure fit. Some crampons may be optimized for specific boot types or brands, so verifying compatibility will enhance your performance and safety on the slopes.
