Good Features
Really a great product. I've used this both backpacking and mountaineering and mountaineering and it has preformed admirably on all occasions. By using the quick adjust strap system its easy to strap them from anything from my mountaineering boots to my running shoes. It really has bomber construction and the steel really adds to its durability. Overall a very good product at quite a reasonable price especially when you can get them on sale.
Bad Features
Sometimes becomes a little loose, you really have to make sure they are tight on you boot. They are a little heavy.
Recommended Alternatives
Petzl Irvis or Grivel 10

Review by reverso 3

Good Features
Affordable and aggressive. easy strapping system.
Bad Features
straps can get frozen, not as easily put on and take off with gloves on as opposed to step-in crampons. Very aggressive teeth. Watch out for your pants and gaiters!

Good Features
I purchased this item for my Ecuador trip for technical and non technical climbs. They were perfect as they are compact, lightweight and easy to travel with. Although they've had a lot of use, the points are still sharp.
Bad Features
points are very sharp, watch out for your pants and gaiters!!
