Ultralight, extremely packable, plug into tech fittings on rando boots. What more could you ask of a crampon designed for competitive ski mountaineering? Not much, as the CAMP Race 290 is the go-to crampon for technical rando races in Europe. The amazingly light weight is achieved with a special heel attachment that fit into the tech inserts on your ski boot combined with a flexible Dyneema strap linking the toe.
- The lightest 10 point crampons in the world!
- Patented heel attachment has tech binding pins that plug into alpine touring boots.
- Dyneema® linking strap between toe and heel piece allow the crampons to fold on themselves for packability.
- It's possible to quickly twist the Dyneema straps to get a tighter fit in the field.
- Standard aluminum linking bars are also included for easier adjustment (24g/foot).
- Different colors for left and right for easy identification when you're redlining.
- Includes a handy carrying case to prevent puncturing your pack or things in it.
- Optional rubber anti-balling plates (39 grams) help reduce dangerous snow build-up under your feet.
- Comes with a flat wrench (21 grams) that makes a nice addition to a repair kit.
- Please note the Race 290 crampons are designed to work only with modern alpine touring boots with tech inserts, as the heel has Dynafit style pins. Also, CAMP recommends that you don't use these on boots larger than size 10.5 US (28 mondo) due to the short length and decreased size of the front platform. Race boots can go a little higher. For larger boots, check out the XLC 390.
