Source: rei.com (verified 2026-08-11). CORRECTED FROM SEED CONTEXT: Louis Garneau's own current site (garneau.com) no longer sells 'Blizzard II' — it now sells the successor 'Blizzard III' at $240 with a BOA harness and TRAXX crampons. The requested Blizzard II is a real, discontinued-but-still-listed prior generation, confirmed live via REI (SKU 107066 men's / 889422 women's), CampSaver, OpticsPlanet, Backcountry, and Trailspace, all reproducing the identical model name; REI is used as the source URL since it is the retailer independently corroborated by the most other listings. Binding, crampon, and load-capacity detail sourced from a first-hand owner review (paddleandtrails.com) reporting 22 in. and 25 in. sizes, a BOA-wire adjustable padded-strap binding, and a dual circular-toe/horseshoe-heel crampon; heel-lift presence, exact frame material, and weight were not documented in any reachable source, so those fields are null rather than assumed.
