Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

The combination of 7mm and 17mm spikes gives these micro crampons an accurate and impressively strong hold. Quick and easy to fit, secure once on and great stability in use. 

Nortec says

Designed to meet the needs of hunters and excellent for the winter forest work. Thanks to the crampons plates and to the velcro band ensures an excellent fit to the ground on ice and hard snow.

Our Verdict

Nortec’s Alp Forest Micro Crampons use a combination of materials to create a versatile crampon that gives you some serious levels of grip. A combination of spike lengths allows for accurate foot placement and a solid hold on a range of frozen surfaces. With technical touches that help reduce snow balling under them and improve stability these crampons are a great piece of kit.

They are easy to put on with the silicon strap around the boot. A combination of steel chains connect to the spikes allowing some movement to keep you comfortable when worn for extended periods. The tough pouch they come with is great for storage and transport.
