Air Tech Hybrid Evo Crampon

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The Grivel Air Tech Hybrid Evo Crampon is what I reach for when the objective demands both technical front point performance and a pack weight I can actually live with on a long approach. The steel front section bites with the confidence of a full steel crampon, and the aluminum rear keeps the overall weight low enough that you genuinely notice the difference over a full day moving in the mountains."

Fast and light alpinism asks you to make hard decisions about what earns a place in your kit and what gets left behind. The Grivel Air Tech Hybrid Evo Crampon resolves one of those decisions cleanly, delivering the technical performance of a steel front section with the weight savings of an aluminum rear, so you never have to choose between confidence on steep terrain and efficiency on the approach.

The hybrid construction is not a compromise but a considered design choice, placing steel exactly where bite and durability matter most and aluminum everywhere weight can be reduced without affecting performance. Twelve points in the modern Air Tech profile provide maximum stability across mixed terrain, and the dual front points deliver reliable purchase on steep snow and ice without the bulk of a heavier full-steel alternative. Hybrid boot compatibility makes these a natural fit for the fast and light setups that define modern alpine objectives, whether the day involves a glacier crossing, a technical snow face, or the kind of mixed terrain where you need a crampon that can keep up with your ambitions.
