The Karakoram Backcountry Spares Kit is a small set of buckles, ladders and bolts for repairing Karakoram bindings in the field. It comes in two versions, one for Alpine Prime bindings and one for Prime Connect bindings.

What it's for

A lost screw or a broken buckle can end a tour. This kit carries one of each strap part and pairs of the common bolts so you can fix the binding and keep moving. Pick the version that matches your binding family.
