The Alien X is the sixth generation of the micro cam that obtained its first patent in 1986, in Colorado (US). It retains its original character, with a version that has been improved in terms of performance and finishes.

Available in six sizes, the new Alien X features the following improvements:

- Cams with X-grip texture. Improves the grip of the cams during the first times it is used.

- Three more versatile sizes. The three large sizes (3/4 yellow, 7/8 grey and 1 red) can work as passive anchors.

- The puller is more ergonomic and re-sized. The redesign of the puller has made the Alien X into a micro cam that is easy and quick to manipulate, whether during its placement or extraction. As well as this, it is now easier to use while wearing gloves. With respect to its six sizes, there is now an additional 3 mm between the puller and the cams.

- It has a solid and compact construction. The metal riveting and riveting joint turn this micro cam into a more homogeneous piece, with a more compact design.

FAITHFUL TO ITS ORIGINS

The Alien X retains its original character, being faithful to the first patent:

- Lightness and reduced volume. The weight of the harness and the space it takes up is reduced.

- Its flexibility absorbs the movements of the rope, preventing the cams from moving once in place.

- Design of the geometry of the cams.

- Color's of the sizes. These colors have become a reference in climbing reviews of the last 30 years.

All Alien X products are hand-made in Barcelona.

TOO SMALL
Size: Medium, Color: Blue
Nice socks, but they are way too small. Says they fit size 6 - 10. I kept 3 ( I wear size 8) and gave 3 to my daughter (size 8.5). We both agreed that they were just too small.

I stay on your foot they don’t slip in your shoe
Number of Items: 3, Color: White/Neutral (3-pairs), Size: Medium
This is the only socks I wear Under Armour because they stay in place I wear a size 8, but they’re more comfortable with a large instead of a medium, but I wear both because I have them already and you can pull them to stretch them out a little bit

Great fit, truly doesn’t slide off heel
Number of Items: 3, Color: White/Neutral (3-pairs), Size: Medium, Number of Items: 3, Color: White/Neutral (3-pairs), Size: Medium
I’ve scoured all the lands looking for a no-show sock that was 1) thin, 2) quality, soft, breathable material, 3) didn’t dig into my feet/heels, 4) doesn’t shrink, and most importantly 5) stays on the back of my heel without a bulky non-slip rubber piece and these check all the boxes! Perfect for low profile women’s work shoes like Keds, etc. Not low enough for most flats though. I wear a women’s size 9.
