Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

The Nordic Micro Crampons are designed and tested to meet the needs of light mountaineering, trekking and outdoor running. Also suitable for running training on dry, wet or muddy grassland, and for outdoor winter running.

Nortec says

Quick fit crampons made by an elastomer interconnected to a tread stainless steel structure under the shoes realized through a combination of chain elements, connectors and crampon plate. The crampons allow you to move in perfect safety on the snow, ice and low adherence surface (mud undergrowth, foliage, etc.).

All metal components in stainless steel. Heat treated crampon plates to a greater mechanical resistance. Nevertheless, due to the stainless steel’s high carbon content, light superficial oxidation/rust’s traces may appears.

Hi-tech silicon elastomer tested up to – 60 °C for a quick a comfortable fit and perfect positioning of the light crampon.21 steel 8 mm long crampon’s spikes for excellent stability, perfect grip and walking-running comfort. Twisted stainless steel chain to improve the grip and to assure reliability and special connections “eight shape” (pat.pend.) that prevent the release of the rivets from the elastomer even in the toughest conditions.

The shape of the plates at opposite ends improves stability and ride comfort even with light shoes.

Our Verdict

A little heavier than Nortec’s Trail Micro Crampons but that’s because they are designed for trekking and winter running. It has a twisted stainless steel chain for improved grip with 21 steel teeth for extra stability.

These crampons come with a carry case that’s just as durable as it’s contents. The case features two internal pockets to separate the crampons to stop any tangling, ultimately saving you time and unwanted faff when it comes to fitting them.
