Irvis Steigeisen

Switching from a heavier pair, these 10-point steel spikes feel noticeably lighter on the boots without sacrificing grip on icy moraines. The FLEXLOCK binding system snapped onto my touring boots securely and released easily when I swapped shoes. Exactly what I needed for spring glacier crossings.

The 10-point steel spikes gave me solid grip crossing a hard-packed glacier this weekend, and the binding system fit my touring boots without any fuss. Super lightweight too, barely noticed them in my pack until I needed them.

The FLEXLOCK binding snapped onto my ski boots in seconds, no tools, no fiddling with a leash. Points bit into the hard spring crust on the glacier without any wobble. First real alpine route with them and I'm not looking back.
