Description

  • 3-D pressed frame maximizes strength and performance
  • Semi-automatic bindings fit most semi-rigid mountaineering boots
  • Tool-free size adjustment
  • CC4U wear indicators on the side points show when it is time for replacement
  • New dynamic anti-balling plates and carrying case included

Built on the same hyperlight platform as the XLC 390 with a semi-automatic binding to accommodate boots without a toe welt. Innovative 3-D shaped construction (pressed – not just bent) on the front platform distributes pressure applied to one point across the entire platform significantly increasing the strength of the crampon. The semi-automatic binding is designed for a secure fit on most semi-rigid mountaineering boots. For telemark or A/T boots, use the XLC 390 with automatic bindings. While sturdy, aluminum crampons are not suitable for ice climbing or intensive mixed terrain.

Certification

Certifications

The main climbing gear certifications are CE and UIAA--and normally the UIAA creates the rules that the CE body also supports. When possible, we try to list all the certifications the product carries.

To sell a climbing product in Europe, the device must be CE certified. There are no official requirements to sell climbing gear in the US. The UIAA certification is a voluntary process.
