Petzl Neve Pro Crampons

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

The Neve Pro Crampons are ultra-light and compact aluminium alloy. Perfect for alpine adventures and snowy assents. The go-to choice for lightweight performance.

Black Diamond says: 

The redesigned Neve Pro crampons are engineered for fast and light snow travel. Still featuring an ultralight 10-point aluminum design, the new Neve’s are now lighter thanks to an innovative center cable construction, which not only saves weight but also allows the crampons to fold in half for sleek packability. The quick-lock cable system also makes for easy length adjustments without the use of tools. While the Neve Pro features steel wire bails in front and aluminum bail in the back for secure fit with welted boots.

Our Verdict

Black diamonds Neve Strap Crampons are made from ultra-light aluminium, making them the lightest hiking crampons we currently stock.

To cut the weight, Black Diamond took out the metal bars that typically connected the toe piece and heel and replaced it with an innovative centre cable construction. This minimizes bulk too, which means they can be stored inside their small carry case inside your pack. It also means you don’t need tools to adjust them.

The Neve Pro Crampons require a crampamatic B3 Alpine boot.

These are not designed as a constant expedition crampon but for light or emergency uses and occasional summiting.
