Hybrid Construction for Performance and Reduced Weight

The Petzl IRVIS HYBRID Crampons use two different materials to achieve an effective balance between durability and lightweight performance.

The front section is made from steel, providing dependable penetration and resistance to wear when moving across ice and harder terrain. The heel section uses aluminum to help reduce overall weight.

This hybrid design makes the crampons particularly useful for activities where carrying lighter equipment can improve comfort and efficiency, such as long ski touring days and extended mountain approaches.

Designed for Ski Touring and Glacier Travel

The 10-point configuration provides dependable stability while travelling across hard snow and glacier terrain. The two wide front points help provide a secure purchase in snow, while the steel front section offers reliable traction when moving across ice.

These characteristics make the Petzl IRVIS HYBRID Crampons suitable for ski touring routes and alpine approaches where snow, ice, and occasional rocky terrain may be encountered.

The ANTISNOW system helps limit snow buildup beneath the crampons, helping maintain more consistent contact between the points and the terrain.

Lightweight and Ultra-Compact

Weight and packability are important during ski touring and alpine travel. The aluminum heel section and HMPE CORD-TEC linking system help keep the maximum weight to approximately 570 g with the ANTISNOW system.

The flexible linking system also allows the crampons to fold down into a compact size for easier storage inside the included transport pouch. This makes them convenient to carry when crampons are required only for certain sections of a route.

LEVERLOCK UNIVERSEL Binding System

The LEVERLOCK UNIVERSEL binding system is designed for compatible footwear with heel welts. The binding system provides a secure connection while allowing the crampons to be adjusted for suitable boots.

Tool-free length adjustment makes fitting easier, while the crampons are designed to fit boot sizes from 36 to 46.
