Petzl Irvis Hybrid Crampons

No, the IRVIS HYBRID is designed specifically for ski touring and glacier travel. While the steel front section provides excellent traction on hard snow and ice, it lacks the rigidity and aggressive point geometry required for vertical ice climbing.

It means you get the best of both worlds: a steel front section for durability and bite on icy terrain, and an aluminum heel to keep the overall weight down. This reduces leg fatigue during long approaches or ski tours without sacrificing security where you need it most.

The LEVERLOCK UNIVERSEL binding system is highly versatile and designed to fit most boots with a heel welt, including ski touring boots and stiff-soled mountaineering boots. They accommodate sizes ranging from 36 to 46 EU.

No, the IRVIS HYBRID features tool-free length adjustment. You can quickly resize the crampons in the field, which is particularly helpful if you are switching between different pairs of boots.

They come equipped with an integrated ANTISNOW system. This helps limit snow buildup under the crampons, preventing the dangerous 'balling' effect that can compromise your traction.

Yes, they are very packable. The CORD-TEC flexible linking system allows the front and rear sections to fold together compactly, and they come with their own storage bag to protect the rest of your gear from the points.
