Intro

The mixed aluminum/steel model of the Harfang line, designed for fast & light touring. Of all the crampons tested, it's the only one made up of three sections—a novel design that makes it extremely light and compact. It has anti-balling plates as standard and a 40 mm fabric strap that connects the three rails that's a little fiddly to adjust (do it at home). If correctly set up, it's more precise than other models with wires. The distance between the toe of the boot and the two front points is quite large (27 mm). Not recommended for boots with particularly low buckles.
