Kahtoola says:
Our most capable and packable crampon. One-inch-long spikes postiontioned along the edge of the foot, tear into ice and snow with ease and provide an extremely stable platform while a folding heel support collapses flat, allowing the entire untit to pack down smaller than any other hiking crampon. KTS features our patented LeasfSpring Flex Bar technology which moves naturally with the foot and adjusts to fit a wide variety of flexible footwear. Ideal for use in the alpine and on robust flexible footwear such as hiking boots.
