What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I took the GX LT Hybrid on a ski mountaineering day in the Wasatch where the approach had a firm technical section before a long skin to the summit, and the steel front points bit in exactly when I needed them to while the aluminum rear kept the overall weight from adding up over a big vert day. The Bi-Fold Bar packed down tighter than any crampon I have carried in that category, and I genuinely forgot they were in my pack on the descent. For ski mountaineering objectives where crampons are a safety tool and not the centerpiece, these are hard to beat."The Grivel GX LT Hybrid Ski-Matic+ Evo starts from a simple premise: give you exactly the traction you need and carry nothing extra to get it there. The steel front section delivers confident bite on firm snow and technical alpine terrain where it matters most, while the aluminum rear section trims weight without sacrificing the structure that makes a crampon trustworthy underfoot. The result is a hybrid that weighs as little as 598g per pair in the Dual binding configuration, light enough to stop being a factor on long ski mountaineering days where every gram compounds over thousands of vertical feet. The Bi-Fold Bar is the feature that earns its keep every time the crampons come off and go into your pack. It folds the crampon down to a genuinely compact form while maintaining the rigidity of a steel linking bar once strapped to your boot, a balance that most packable designs struggle to achieve. Proactive Antibott front and rear sheds snow buildup on the move, and the Grivel Crampon System opens up interchangeable component options for dialing in your exact configuration. Available in Dual and Ski-Matic+ Evo binding systems and sized from European 36 to 47, the GX LT Hybrid is the crampon that keeps pace when the objective demands everything from you.
