Review on Hillsound Trail Crampon - Ice Traction πŸ”οΈ Device with 11 Carbon Steel Spikes, 2-Year Warranty by Smiley Edwards

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Good product but serious durability issues

This is my second pair of glasses and I have tried many other brands over the years. In the winter I walk 3-4 times a week on fairly steep trails, 3 miles round trip. The product looks well made, fits well and is a good buy on steep slopes, but after 15-20 walks the chain links that attach the crampons to the shoe start to break making the device (see photo) unusable, unless you have a zip tie or some wire in your backpack to fix a temporary trail. For the price, this is a serious disadvantage.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Suitable for
