Do you feel like a mountain goat in these cats

This is an update on my first pair of PRO cats. I've got many years and miles on the first pair and they still work well, just wanted to see what the latest improvements add to the functionality. Both pairs are equally easy to put on and take off on the track, even when wearing gloves. This encourages you to use them when you need them and not when you don't. The new keyless length adjustment feature works well, although I've never had trouble adjusting the earlier version as they fit snugly into my boots without tools. under the condition. With the first pair, I quickly learned (the hard way) to carry gaiters, especially when going up steep terrain. The spikes are very sharp and if the spikes get caught in loose snow pants, you could lose your balance. The first pair didn't need sharpening, although I wasn't gentle with them. I expect the new pair to last and I now have an extra pair as a backup.
