Harfang Tech

With a mono point and toe basket setup it weighs 350g each (700g both +30g bag), so slightly more than described. Packs incredibly small! These crampons are very well made, it took some effort in changing the front basket (as it should). Very sharp out of the box. Adjusting wasn’t that hard as expected, just followed the instructions and left ~15mm of the heel for extension, and the rear rail just popped on. The strap with a buckle is also amazing! The crampons handle well on flat ice and snow, looking forward to abusing them more on vertical ice and rock. I'm most impressed by the level of attention given to details, even for folding and carrying them properly. So far 10/10. Thanks for an amazing piece of engineering, Blue Ice!

The rare rail is just too narrow. My boots size is 46. I think the concept is good, but I didn't expect the fitting will have such issue.

It's amazing to have crampons that can perform technical duties while being this lightweight. I no longer need to bring a heavier duty crampon just because there might be technical terrain that an aluminum crampon can't handle.

I was initially pretty worried about whether the crampons would stay on my boots given the mixed discussion on these crampons, but I zero problems on my first two outings so far. I have a fair amount of usage with aluminum crampons connected by a dyneema cord, so maybe that has helped. I also typically use ski boots with lightweight crampons, so that probably plays a role as well. Without a metal bar, rigidity relies on just the boot. Ski boots are much stiffer than ice climbing boots which plays well with these crampons.

I did follow the adjustment recommendations to make them ultra tight. The initial adjustment of the crampons to get the right degree of tightness took forever, especially since I wanted to be able to use the crampons on two different boots. This makes the crampon impractical to use across users or a large range of boots. Once you set the length on the dyneema webbing, it's best to never touch it again. I got them to work for two ski boots that are the same size internal size, but different sole lengths by using the heel adjustment to switch boots.

The difficulty in changing the fit is because there's no fixed adjustment increments on these crampons. So getting back to a previous adjustment is very difficult. Other crampons use fixed notches for length adjustment, so it's easy switch between footwear and go back to the previous setting. The infinite adjustability of these crampons let's you dial in the perfect fit, but with the trade-off of being more difficult to adjust.

Crampons très léger et polyvalents

Ligeros,resistentes y fiables ,los estrene durante 5 días seguidos en el valle de aran y son de lo mejor que he probado

Its not designed for ice climbing or near suitabel for vertical ice. Maybe suitabel for non Technical alpine climbing. The plastic adjuster breaks on tension, and the dyneema in the bottom loosen and crampon pops out during climbing. It happened for me twice and i eventually got injured on one of my ribs after the first fall. It was my first crampon ever, and i was very excited to try the Ice, but this crampon ruined the whole experience. I even got the 2 falls om video. I returned the crampons, and got them back with a horrible explanation, saying that the crampon is fully functional and i might change the cord, because the cord is damaged. The cord where damaged because of the falls.

I used the Blue Ice Harfang Tech crampons twice during ice climbing, and they made a solid first impression. They feel lightweight and stable on the ice. Adjusting the strap takes a bit of time at first, so they’re easiest to use with the same pair of boots. Overall, a promising crampon with good performance so far.

Répond à mes attentes, léger, peu encombrant dans le sac.
quelques utilisations en dry-tooling et cascade de glace, parfait RAS.

Das Steigeisen wäre wenn sich die Verbindung mit dem Band besser fixieren lassen würde sehr gut.
Es ist ein hohes Sicherheitsrisiko wenn im steilen Eis beim klettern sich das Steigeisen löst.Das darf nicht sein! Ich würde empfehlen einen Stahlsteg wie bei den neuen Hochtouren Steigeisen einzubauen, dann wäre es sicher top so wie das Petzl Dart.

Provati una sola volta su una cascata d difficoltà 4+, in valle Camonica in provincia di Brescia molto belli da tensionare bene la parte di tessuto e ritensionare dopo il primo utilizzo

Previously had issues with these crampons that resolved themselves. Great crampons and would recommend!!

perfect

I bought it for technical 6000ers. For me the best choice for that.

This crampon is a true weapon. I was looking for a crampon that can be used for any mountain activity, is 100% made of steel and still light enough. The Harfang Tech checks all those boxes. Perfect for mountaineering, perfect for ice climbing and as light or lighter as hybrid crampons of other vendors. 6/5 stars.

Ne ho acquistati due paia ed entrambi presentano un problema sulla fascia che unisce talloniera e puntale. La regolazione seppur fatta correttamente si lasca durante l’utilizzo con conseguente perdita di posizionamento del rampone sullo scarpone generando situazioni potenzialmente pericolose per l’arrampicatore.

La sangle d'attache cheville gèle, Crampons difficile à enlever à cause de ce détail.

Chiodi per ghiaccio leggero e morde bene il ghiaccio e hai meno peso sull’ imbrago
Consiglio anche per attività su ghiacciai visto la leggerezza

Crampon vraiment parfait... à un énorme détail prêt.
Le fil du système auto est trop étroit pour une paire classique comme la scarpa F1 GT. Du coup j'ai remplacé votre fil par un Petzl et c'est ok.
L'emplacement du talon est un poil trop large comparé à un standard Petzl ou autre ; petit défaut compensé par le maintien en place exceptionnel du crampon qui ne bouge pas d'un poil. Bravo !

Acheté en remplacement des Darts, les harfang tech sont exactement ce que j attendait.
Très bonne accroche sur la glace et très bonne stabilité en cascade. Je les utilise autant pour de la rando glacières que pour des course de glace plus technique.
Passé en bi pointe (une préférence personnel), la manip est simple et assez rapide.

Le gros plus : l'encombrement extrêmement réduis dans le sac lors du transport grace à la sangle en remplacement de la barre métallique chez les autres marques. Ça change la vie !

It’s a very good product.

Quality looks very good, i will try them this winter. Fitting is perfect!

Increíbles!!! Ligeros, compactos, muy modulares (monopunta o bipunta, para botas semi o rígidas). Además son supertecnicos. De lo que más me gusta es el espacio que ahorras en la mochila al poder recogerlos mucho. Top!!! 🔝

Set up with my boots was simple and easy.
I tried them on a medium difficulty icefall (WI4).
They are easy to place and precise.
Also they are light and compact, and you don’t fill them in the backpack!!
