Protect Your Rucksack – With protective tip covers
A sheath slips over the sharp crampon points, creating a barrier between metal tips and fabric. The cover prevents direct contact between points and other kit when packed.
Reduces abrasion and the chance of tears in rucksack fabric while carrying crampons.
Reduce Handling Risk – With covered crampon points
Covered points minimise exposed sharp edges during handling and stowing, lowering the likelihood of accidental snags. The barrier makes moving crampons in and out of a pack safer.
Makes transferring and handling crampons less likely to cause cuts to hands or damage to clothing.
Keep Both Crampons Ready – With a two-piece set
Sold as a pair, enabling both crampons to be protected at the same time. The two covers allow symmetrical packing of a matched set.
Keeps crampons organised and ready for quick changes on the hill without loose points poking other kit.
