How Light are Lites?

It's hard to understand how lightweight Northern Lites are until you hold them yourself. So, we've compiled a list.

  • Choose the featherweight Glide system for flat to rolling terrain and maximum weight savings.

    • Rear 10-point and Front 9-Point Duraluminum Crampons with ice guards
    • Great for the Midwest or flat to rolling terrain in the West and Northeast.
    • No Integrated Heel Lift (for weight savings)







  • Choose the Summit traction system for more bite and an integrated heel lift for steep ascents.

    • Rear Stainless Steel and Front 9-Point Duraluminum Crampon with ice guards
    • Great for more aggressive terrain in the West and Northeast
    • Integrated Heel Lift relieves calf strain during ascents and descents
