Opt for a tool that’s lightweight and durable! Designed for ski touring and approaches involving glacier travel, the IRVIS
HYBRID crampons have a steel front piece and aluminum heel piece, offering an excellent balance between performance,
technicality and weight, as well as traction on ice. The flexible linking system minimizes bulk for ease of carrying. The
LEVERLOCK UNIVERSEL binding system is designed to fit most footwear with heel welts.
Our Verdict
Petzl's Irvis Hybrid Crampon provide a good combination of lightweight and durable with the front section of the crampons made from steel and the rear from aluminium. This still enables the crampons to maintain traction and technical performance but with added durability through the use of steel. With 10 points, a unique LeverLock binding system, AntiSnow protection and a storage bag you are getting a high quality crampon in the Irvis Hybrid.
The main advantages of these crampons is the low weight which is helped by the cord-tec connection between the front and rear sections, this rope lowers weight compared to metal connections and allows the crampons to be packed without the added bulk.
