Snowplak - Snowshoes with crampons

[pilbond]

Hi.
While researching the internet for light novelties for walking on snow, I came across this.

https://www.snowplak.com/

SnowPlak® is a patented approach concept that allows you to quickly adapt to soft snow, while keeping your crampons permanently on your feet. They must always be used with mountaineering crampons, after having checked the good compatibility and adapted the adjustment in size. When the two pieces of equipment are assembled, the whole forms a snowshoe compatible with the practice of mountaineering. Short and light (720g a pair), they allow easy progression in steep slopes (30 ° and more) on crossing, ascent or descent. The SnowPlak® are removed quickly and fit easily in a mountain bag of 20 litters. Make sure you have the knowledge and experience required for the considered hike, with a professional or a competent structure if necessary.

Something I've always looked for is a snow flotation system with your own crampons. I have used smallfoot at the beginning of the year but I am not convinced, this seems more interesting.

The only thing I can't see clearly is its "buoyancy" in soft snow.

Has anyone been able to try them or know something else?

Those look great. Dead handy for our crappy UK snow and postholed mares of paths.

Been trying to buy a pair since you posted.

Looks promising - has anyone found the full specs and a supplier yet?
