Built on the same hyperlight platform as the XLC 390 with a semi-automatic binding to accommodate boots without a toe welt. Innovative 3-D shaped construction (pressed - not just bent) on the front platform distributes pressure applied to one point across the entire platform significantly increasing the strength of the crampon. The semi-automatic binding is designed for a secure fit on most semi-rigid mountaineering boots. For telemark or A/T boots, use the XLC 390 with automatic bindings (ref. 0348). While sturdy, aluminum crampons are not suitable for ice climbing or intensive mixed terrain.
