Source: retrospec.com (verified 2026-08-11). Retrospec's own product page confirms $49.99, 21/25/30 in. sizes with per-size load capacity, double-ratchet bindings, heel lifters for reduced leg fatigue, and an aluminum-alloy frame with a polyethylene deck. Weight is stated per individual shoe ('2.1 lbs' each) and applied uniformly to all three sizes rather than broken out per size on the fetched page, so weight_per_pair_lb (4.2 lb, doubled from the per-shoe figure) is treated as an approximation shared across sizes. No specific crampon/traction geometry was named on the page beyond 'traction,' so traction_crampon_design is left null rather than invented.
