Crampons Treksport Ice grip

Product detailed description

TREKSPORT Ice Grip chain crampons are designed for walking on icy terrain, but can also be used on packed snow or other slippery surfaces. The crampons are lightweight, compact, and don't take up much space in your backpack.

Features:

• They provide excellent protection against slipping on slippery surfaces.
• Simple, stable, and secure attachment to footwear.
• The metal parts, spikes, and horseshoes are made of painted steel, and the chains are made of stainless steel.
• The upper elastic strap is made of thermoplastic rubber, which retains its properties even at low temperatures.
• 13 spikes with a length of 15 mm are distributed around the circumference of the front and rear horseshoes.
• The package includes a ventilated transport/storage bag.
• They come in 4 sizes:

Sizes:

• S – for shoe sizes EU 35-37 / 460 g per pair
• M – for shoe sizes EU 38-40 / 495 g per pair
• L – for shoe sizes EU 41-43 / 520 g per pair
• XL – for shoe sizes EU 44-47 / 530 g per pair

The sizes listed are approximate and the shape of the shoes on which the crampons will be used must always be taken into account.

Warning: Chain crampons are not designed for use in mountain climbing terrain and are not a substitute for climbing crampons!

Construction:

The crampons are made of flexible rubber, or thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), which retains its elastic properties even at very low temperatures down to -40 °C. Two horseshoes with 15 mm spikes are attached to the elastomer by chains. The horseshoes are made of painted steel and the chains are made of stainless steel, which ensures corrosion resistance and low maintenance. A strap with Velcro is attached to the elastomer for a secure connection between the crampons and the footwear.

Functionality:

When put on, the flexible elastomer wraps around the top of the shoe, while the chains and horseshoes cover the bottom. When the correct size is selected, the anti-slip devices are firmly attached to the shoes, and the Velcro fastening strap increases stability. The spikes of the horseshoes point from the sole towards the ground and provide excellent traction on slippery surfaces, preventing slipping and falling.

There are two horseshoes on the bottom – the front one has 9 spikes and consists of two movable parts connected by axles. This allows it to follow the bend of the shoe when climbing, and the spikes dig into the ground better, increasing stability. The rear horseshoe with 4 spikes acts as a brake when descending and prevents slipping backwards.

2. Insert the toe of the shoe into the front part (marked "FRONT").
3. Pull the rear part (marked "BACK") of the elastomer over the heel of the shoe.
4. Adjust the elastomer so that the anti-slip devices fit snugly against the shoe.
5. Fasten the fastening strap across the instep.
6. Make sure that the anti-slip devices are firmly in place and that the spikes are pointing towards the ground.
