Strap on Crampons
10 Teeth Vuno Capricorn
US Size 6 ~ 13.5

These strap on crampons are an essential pack item when hiking above the bush line in winter or when snow is expected. The Vuno Capricorn Crampons only weigh 600 grams so will not weigh you down as much as you would expect.

Each crampon has 10 teeth which are up to 10 cm in length. These teeth provide excellent grip on icy surfaces making hiking on ice safe and easy. If you want even more traction on slippery surfaces we also have 12 teeth and 18 teeth crampons available.

They are easy to adjust using the supplied key and fit are wide variety of shoes and hiking boots. Most regular US sized shoes and boots between size 6 and 13.5 will fit comfortably inside these ice spikes. However wider fitting shoes in the large sizes above size 11 may not fit.

Before embarking on your journey we suggest you practice using the straps as they can be be tricky to start with. We have included some photos below to help you figure out how to use the included buckle system.

The best place to faster the strap is directly in front of you boots or shoes where the tongue is. Doing this will give the buckle a firm surface to tighten up against reducing the chance of the strap coming loose while hiking or climbing.

Includes key for adjusting length and storage bag for storing your crampons. Please ensure both teeth sides are facing together in the inside of the storage bag to prevent the bag from tearing.

Put On and Take off Your Crampons Carefully

• You should always put on and take off your crampons while sitting down or leaning against something stable, to avoid losing your balance or injuring yourself.
• Make sure that your boots are clean and dry before attaching your crampons, to avoid slipping or freezing.
• You should also check that your crampons are securely attached and aligned with your boots before standing up or walking.
• Ensure the straps are not pulled too hard, just enough to secure them to your boots. This is particularly true for models with rubber front and rear harness seats.
• Check to ensure they are sitting in place and straps are secure while using. Straps and seating of the crampon in your boot can shift as you move.

Important Use Notes:

• After you use your crampons, you need to check and maintain them regularly, to ensure that they are in good condition and ready for the next use.
• You should inspect your crampons for any damage, wear or rust, and repair or replace any broken or worn parts.
• Also ensure you clean your crampons of any dirt, ice or snow, and dry them thoroughly before storing them.
• You should also sharpen your points periodically, using a file or a grinder, to keep them sharp and effective.
• If you are storing them for the season, coat them with a light oil or a water-displacement spray such as WD-40 to prevent them from rusting.
