After rigorous testing of other systems on the market, the Skeats Claw universal crampon was found to be the best solution to ski tour confidently in icy conditions! It's design is so simple, works with all widths skis (above 85mm wide), and compatible with all years of the Daymaker Classic to the Tekdapters!

It can be integrated with all widths of your skis or even passed to a friend. 

Skeats™ Claws are small and packable and can just live in your backpack. You can pack them in an old sunglasses case or simply stow in a hip pouch.

As a bonus, you will always have two 20” Skeats™ branded Voile straps with you that can be removed from the Skeats™ and used independently for any repair/first aid needs.

In emergency situations the Skeats™ Claws can also be used as emergency boot crampons on stiff sole mountaineering and snowboard boots. Skeats™ Claws are NOT intended as a replacement for mountaineering boot crampons and are only to be used as a last resort to help reach safer terrain. Practice with them in safe terrain and never over any life threatening exposure. Carry proper mountaineering boot crampons on tours requiring them. 

Sizing:

The mounting position should be just behind the tour mode toe piece; please measure the width of your skis/splitboard halves at the recommended mounting location to determine the best size that will work for you. For skis this is near your waist width, for splitboards this is near half the waist width.

The Skeats™ Claws 85mm are for mounting position widths from 85mm to 115mm. So use these with skis with a mid waist from 85mm to 115mm

Important Use Instructions and Disclaimers: 

1) Attachment point width must be equal to or greater than the cleat width purchased. If the cleat width used is wider than the mounting position width, there is risk of bending/damaging the cleat, as well as poor function.

2) All Skeats™ products are to be used with touring skins between the base of the ski/splitboard half and the Skeats™. If used without touring skins there is risk of ski/splitboard base damage. In case of touring skin glue failure, ensure the touring skin is flat against the base when mounting Skeats™ to secure the touring skin in place.

3) The hair on your touring skins may wear around the cleat mounting locations after extended use. Depending on use and mounting tightness, expect some skin hair to wear around the Skeats™ corners and/or outer profile. Mounting flat and snug/tight against the skin will decrease the probability of touring skin damage.

4) After mounting and removing Skeats™ near tour mode toe pieces that use walk mode locking levers, ensure each walk mode lever is pushed down or pulled up per your splitboard or ski binding manufacturer’s specified “Locked/Walk Position”. Depending on your tightening and removal method of the Voile Strap, the strap can lift up or push down the locking lever if mounting Skeats™ next to it.

5) Voile Straps are to be inspected for cuts before and after each use, if cuts are observed please replace the 20” Skeats™ branded aluminum buckle Voile Straps. Only use genuine Voile Straps with aluminum buckles.
