Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"The Petzl Dart Crampons' fixed mono point gives it the low-profile design and low weight to excel on burly ice and mixed routes. Petzl's Sidelock system provides a level of security unmatched by traditional bindings at a fraction of the weight, and now the Dart crampon comes with a Flicklock system for climbers who like more traditional crampons. These technical crampons feel incredibly light on your boots and allow precise footwork on technical terrain. A steeply angled front point on the Dart Crampons provides secure edging while the aggressive secondary points increase security on pure ice."

"I love these crampons, mono-point is the way to go! Only rarely have my feet popped out from underneath me, and they always stick on the first kick.

The only drawback, for me, is the spirlock binding system. It's a great setup, easy to put on, but mine have bent several times, from trying to put them on too tight."
