We have crampon strap kits in two different styles, made from durable natural rubber laminated with polyester mesh. The kits come complete with rivets and are permanently installed using a vice or hammer. We can also supply a kit for instep crampons.
Our own Aspiring version of the Scottish style that avoids the front ring and the need to thread any straps. These are even simpler to fasten than the Scottish style. Instructions included.
