Review on Hillsound Trail Crampon - Ice Traction ๐Ÿ”๏ธ Device with 11 Carbon Steel Spikes, 2-Year Warranty by Steven Pankey

RUSTWorthy Winter Companion

I bought these because I am between sizes with the Kahtoola brand and when I wear my climbing shoes (larger size) it causes problems with them. The reviews were great too. They fit well and seem to have a good design, but after 3. THREE! use, they are rusty. I have had multiple pairs of micro bolts from multiple manufacturers and have never had a rust problem. I just assumed they were rustproof since their main purpose is to provide traction on ice/snow, but they aren't. My Kahtools lasted about 3 years and there wasn't a single spot of rust on them. In the attached image, the darker areas on Kahtoola are actually light brown mud.
