Price Paid:  $48.00 at off internet

Summary:
A bargain price does not always turn into a good value! That is very much the case with CAMP crampons.

The Ice Trek crampons appear to be well made of a very brittle chrome molly steel. Though the width in the forefoot and the length is adjustable I don't believe they will fit boots over size US 10. The width could not be adjusted to even snugly fit a pair of Lowa Baffin's Size US 11.

There products from other manufacturers of greater value in the flex crampon market. I would not recommend any of C.A.M.P's products due to extremely poor support. (See customer service below)

Customer Service:
Customer service from CAMP USA leaves a lot to be desired. They did not respond to inquiries via email or fax and only responded after two follow up phone calls and a fax to their parent / partner / manufacturer in Italy. It is not surprising given their recent relationship with Adventure 16, whose arrogance torwards their customer is only exceeded by extremely high pricing.

Similar Products Used:
Buy a well known and readily available brand such as:
Black Diamond
Charlet Moser / Petzl
Stubai
Cassin
Kong

This will at least ensure that repair / replacement parts are easy to obtain.

Price Paid:  $20.00 at military surplus

Summary:
really nice classic crampon well made and suitable to a wide range of uses, not very technical but there is where its beuty lays, its lack of specific purpose makes it ver versitile, though straps are a pita as on all strap on crampons, they are widely available sold as military surplus
