Adjustment is an essential phase optimising how well the crampon holds onto the boot. It is indispensable for both performance and safety, and must be precise, simple and reliable.
In order to ensure a perfect fit for any type of boot, Petzl Charlet crampons and binding systems are adjustable at several levels. No tools are needed and these adjustments can be carried out in the field ensuring easy adjustment of your crampons as you go.
Semi-rigid or articulated position:
Depending on the stiffness of the boot, the crampon can be set to a semi-rigid or articulated position.
You can make this adjustment at the top of the linking bar, under the front section.
The ANTISNOW was designed to avoid interfering with the crampon's articulation (Petzl Charlet patent).
Adjustment accommodates half sizes (no tools required):
The linking bar between the front section and heel piece has holes for half-sizes (Petzl Charlet patented).
No tools are needed for adjustment due to the spring-mounted system in use.
The spring mounting is locked by the sole and by the tensioning of the crampon when you put it on.
Optimising fitting crampons to the boot:
In most binding models, the front and rear wire bails can be adjusted: they can be moved forward or backward to adjust the length to the perfect fit, depending on the size of the boot welts.
The wire bails can also be offset to fit technical boots with asymmetrical shapes.
These adjustments don't require any tools.
The DoubleBack buckles don't need the strap securing as they are self-locking. They are always in the locked position and can be adjusted by a single movement. Tightening the strap is therefore fast and simple.
