Okay, if it fits your crampons

What can I say about a crampon bag? This one is pretty basic - no daisy chains or useful lashing loops so good luck strapping it to the outside of your pack if that's your style. Personally, I either use a crampon bag inside my pack, or strap my crampons bare-toothed to the outside of my pack so that doesn't bother me. However... the bag is a little small. Mine measures 10.5 x 5 x 4 inches, so if your crampons are any larger than that, no soap. The mesh is a little stretchy (at the cost of somewhat damaging the mesh) so I've managed 10.5 x 5 x 5 but that is about the max. My old CM 12's and CAMP's fit fine, my alumimum Stubai's barely barely fit (frustratingly tight), and my fixed rail ice crampons don't at all. And the bag weighs 7 oz (almost as much as one of my aluminum crampons) so I mostly only use this while packing my crampons in my luggage. But for that purpose, when crampons fit in it, it's bomber and has protected my gear quite well...
