Does this come with the "alpine stopper" mentioned in the reviews?

I'm not quite sure what the "alpine stopper" is. Honestly, I really haven't used my trail crampons much. They have a moderate sized spike so that unless you're on glaciers you may find those long spikes trip you up (at least until you get the footing). I ended up with a pair of MICROspikes, and I would urge you to weigh your intended use and consider them (or the Hillsound equivalent). They provide nearly as much traction, don't snag and trip you up, can be folded and stuffed in small pack spaces, and are generally less lethal than full crampons. Also, here in northern New England, the last couple of winters have been low snow. With the MICROspikes, I have no issues with walking on bare ground (or rock) between icy sections. I'm not sure I'd do that with crampons. Good luck on your choice!

Yes, the crampons come with the alpine stoppers. The Hillsound Trail Pro's work great. Several friends traded in other models for these.
JEAN R
Yes, the Hillsound Trail PRO does come with the "alpine stoppers." I've not used the "alpine stoppers" as I've not had to wear the Hillsound crampons in deep snow conditions.

Yes! It does come with apline stoppers. My friend and I both bought this product (Hillsound Trail Crampon PRO) for climbing on Mt Washington and he did not bring his alpine stoppers. He regretted it. He was still able to use his crampons but had to adjust his a few times. The strap on my set actually failed on Tuckers Ravine but they fit so well (size 13), I was able to use them on the decent without any difference in preformance! The strap cracked where it's rivited to the crampon but upon inspection looked like a defect and not caused by damage. Sunny Sports replaced them A.S.A.P and I have used them without problems! AS THE DISCLAIMER SAYS NOT FOR VERTICAL ICE CLIMBING! Used as it's intended and ror the price, I recomend buying this product! I also recomend buying thru Sunny Sports! They stand by their product and customers!

These crampons work great & so easy to put on & take off. By alpine stopper if you mean the ball on the bottom that stops wet snow from sticking to the bottoms,
Yes they do have them. I would recommend them 100%.
ROBERT R
Yes. It is included with the crampon.
RENE A
Not sure what is the alpine stopper. It come with a system to block the position. It's a red plastic stopper.
The are really good : Easy to use, light, and low metal grip so it's easier to walk with.
BARRY D
Yes the do come with the Red stopper as averted!
BOB P
Yes, my crampons arrived with "alpine stoppers". They work great, too...but they'd be easy to lose.
