Intro

Available in the Skimatic Evo and Skimatic Plus Evo binding versions, this is a do-it-all lightweight crampon featuring steel front section and lightweight alloy rear section, designed specifically for ski mountaineering. The linking bar is fairly delicate and flexible, a necessary sacrifice to shave off some weight. It's a little narrow at the front, burlier boots risk sticking out too much. The essential, functional anti-balling plate is one of the best on the market.
