Petzl Crampon Antisnow Plates

When you walk on soft or melting snow, it can pack into the underside of your crampons, creating dangerous 'snowballs' that prevent the spikes from biting into the ice. These plates create a flexible barrier that sheds snow with every step, ensuring your crampons maintain consistent traction.

No, these specific plates are designed exclusively for the Petzl Leopard and non-hybrid Irvis crampon models. They will not fit other crampon designs, so please verify your specific model before purchasing.

Installation is straightforward. The plates use a snap-on system that secures to the crampon frame, and they are held in place with screws for a reliable fit that won't come loose during a climb.

Not at all. At approximately 76-77 grams, these plates are lightweight and designed to add minimal bulk to your setup, making them a practical addition for weight-conscious alpinists.

While the flexible polymer is durable, it is a wear item. If you notice cracks or significant deformation from heavy use on rocky terrain, it is time to replace them to ensure they continue to effectively prevent snow build-up.
