Designed for ski touring and glacier approaches, the PETZL LEOPARD HYBRID LEVERLOCK crampons are intended for both men and women seeking lightweight gear without compromising on traction. Their hybrid design—combining steel front sections with aluminum rear sections—keeps the weight down to 510 g while maintaining effectiveness on ice. The LEVERLOCK UNIVERSAL attachment system simplifies fitting on a wide range of boots.

A hybrid design for lightweight mountaineering

The design of the PETZL LEOPARD HYBRID LEVERLOCK crampons is based on a strategic distribution of materials: the steel front sections ensure reliable traction on ice thanks to their 10 spikes, while the aluminum rear sections reduce the overall weight without compromising structural rigidity. This technical choice results in a low weight, which is particularly appreciated during long ski-touring approaches where every gram counts over time. The connection between the two sections is provided by the CORD-TEC system, made of high-modulus polyethylene (HMPE), a material known for its abrasion resistance and low elasticity, ensuring consistent stability of the entire unit.

The UNIVERSAL LEVERLOCK system for broad compatibility

The LEVERLOCK UNIVERSAL binding system allows the crampons to be attached to a wide variety of boots with a rear overhang: rigid boots, flexible boots, telemark boots, or snowboard boots, in sizes ranging from 36 to 48. Length adjustment is tool-free, making it easy to make adjustments in the field, especially during the quick transitions typical of ski touring. This versatility makes it suitable for multiple mountain disciplines without requiring additional equipment.

Modularity and Maintenance with the ALPEN ADAPT System

The ALPEN ADAPT system provides the crampons with complete modularity: the front and rear sections, anti-botts, laces, and bindings are all replaceable separately. This approach extends the product’s lifespan by allowing you to replace only worn-out components, rather than the entire unit. The ANTISNOW LEOPARD system, included as standard, limits snow buildup under the crampons, thereby reducing the risk of slipping caused by the formation of a compacted snow sole. The crampons are CE EN 893 and UIAA certified, manufactured in France, and come with a carrying pouch made from 100% recycled polyester.
