Anyone know how these compare to the bd neve straps? I have sabretooths & I'm looking for a pair of light weight aluminum crampons for alpine rock approaches (over approach shoes), early season travel, & non technical snow/glacier climbs. These seem like they could be a little lighter & cheaper. Plus they have an extra two spikes, just in case. Also, is the listed weight w/ or w/o abs (l've seen the same number for both)? Thanks!

These crampons are just what you are looking for if you are looking for the lightest model to go over your approach shoes. They work really well and are perfect for over that type of shoe! They are about 21 ounces for the pair with the anti-botts and about 17 without.
