crampon (limited) compatible Explanation: I tracked down a site in French using the term in your source text and then looked for an English site with the same product. That often enables you to find suitable solutions to chose from, particularly when you then check a few sites to see which terms/solutions are used in either the most professional of the sites, or simply the most often. Of the various Google hits that came up for the Meindl GTX boot, the UK Meindl site offers the solution I have posted here. http://www.croque-montagne.fr/chaussure-montagne-randonnee-s... Caractéristique techniques des Chaussure de montagne semi-cramponnables Meindl Jorasse Gore tex : La tige de la Jorasse GTX® de Meindl est construite dans un matériau microfibre avec empiècements en mesh. Tige relativement flexible pour offrir un excellent confort. Le laçage s'étend loin à l'avant du pied, garantissant ainsi un excellent maintien et un très bon contact avec la chaussure, aspect particulièrement important en escalade. Les boucles spéciales permettent un laçage rapide et sans effort. Une large bande pare-pierre asymétrique protège le pied et la tige de la chaussure. Ce pare-pierre est plus important sur la face intérieure de la chaussure pour offrir une meilleure protection en escalade. La doublure Gore-Tex® assure l'imperméabilité et la respirabilité de la chaussure. Semelle Meindl Multigrip 3 de Vibram avec absorbeur de chocs.

peer agreement (net): +1semi-rigid crampon-compatible [boots] Explanation: Mountaineers will not thank you for boots that can be partially fitted with crampons as they'd just fall off!!! See the below crampon ratings. A google search for the target term will also show how the term is used. Crampon Ratings C1 Crampons C1 refers to a flexible style of crampon that is able to fit a B1 Rated Boot. C2 Crampons C2 refers to a semi-rigid style of crampon that is able to fit a B2 Rated Boot C3 Crampons C3 refers to a very rigid style of crampon that is able to fit a B3 Rated Boot How To Remember What Crampon You Need Remember, Crampons and boots start Flexible C(1),B (1) ...Get Less Flexible (C2)(B2)... and End Rigid (C3)(B3) - a bit like humans as they get older. B0 boots are too flexible for crampons, try Yaktrax instead. B1 Boots just want '1' crampon (C1) B2 Boots can choose from '2'! (C1, C2) B3 Have the pick of all 3! (C1, C2, C3) Boots B1 = C1 B2 = C1 or C2 B3 = C1, C2 or C3 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2017-02-03 13:44:34 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I have not seen Nikki's term before although it does seem to be used occasionally. My suggestion yields a lot more hits, although you might want to check that the boots in question are in the B2/ B3. |
