Petzl Irvis

No, the Petzl Irvis are designed specifically for snow travel and ski touring. Their ten-point, lightweight design is optimized for efficiency on snow slopes rather than vertical ice or mixed climbing.

Yes, the Irvis is highly versatile. If you choose the FLEXLOCK binding system, you can attach them to almost any standard hiking boot, even those without specific front or rear welts.

At 670g to 710g depending on the binding, the Irvis is significantly lighter than traditional 12-point steel crampons. The frame uses a reduced thickness to keep weight down, making them ideal for long approaches where every gram counts.

No, the anti-balling system is included in the box. These plates are essential for preventing snow from clumping under your feet, which helps maintain traction in variable, wet snow conditions.

The LEVERLOCK UNIVERSEL is designed for boots with a rear welt, offering a more secure, precise fit for technical terrain. The FLEXLOCK system uses straps to accommodate boots without welts, prioritizing compatibility and ease of use over technical rigidity.

Yes, the Irvis is adjustable to fit a range of sizes from 36 to 45 EU. The linking bar can be easily adjusted to match the length of your boot sole.
