Black Diamond  Neve Pro Crampons

Super light. Unfortunately, doesn't fit/work well with 2 of the 3 boots I use other crampons with. Best to try them out in-person with boots you intend to use them with. While all the accessories do, indeed, broaden the crampons' ability to work with different boots, it feels like Black Diamond is nickle-and-diming us for some basic flexibility that is built in to other crampons (different size cables, toe harness, heel straps, bails)... and these extras are pricey!

The cable mechanism is neat, but frustrating that it can't accommodate a larger range of BSLs. Compared to Petzl, the value is diminished by requiring buying another cable kit to loan out to guests with smaller boots. Additionally the cables aren't easily changeable. Lastly, the heel lever is bulky, which can make the crampon unusable with Billygoat plates at a smaller setting.

Exceptional application for my ski boots when transitioning to more technical terrain, mid mission. They are light and consume a tiny space in my kit. Worth having on technically demanding tours and other projects.

I bought the Neve crampon for my Tecnica Cochise touring ski boots, and they fit perfect and are exactly what I was looking for ski mountaineering. Ultra light, and durable. The capable connector is flexible but holds up to repeated bending. The heal level has adjustability that helps dial in a precise and tight fit. Excellent product, thank you BD!

These crampons are incompatible with boots less than 285 mm in length without spending $70 on special "short" cables. If you have small feet these crampons won't work for you despite the sizing claims made. (Way too large on my 23.5 mondo size ski boots, which correlate to EU37.)

Ive used these on a single ski mountaineering mission to Mt Shasta. They fit my Dynafit ski boots well. Did a great job in moderately hard snow/ice. Incredibly light. They did NOT fit my mountaineering boots that do not have a front bail, which was a bummer. . .

Should you need lightweight skimo crampons, consider that included toe bail doesn't give a snug fit to ski boots. Wide toe bail could do the work; however, it is not available anywhere globally...

Good choice if bumping between different boots. These do exactly what you want once setup properly. If I bought again for my purpose I would go with the pros.

Great crampons, super lightweight. The updated lock for the heel is easy to use compared to older models. And they look really sweet.

Toe bail did not fit Scarpa F1 boot. I’m wondering if there are replacement for touring boots?
