Review on Hillsound Trail Crampon Ultra - Ice Traction Device with 18 Stainless Steel Spikes and 2-Year Warranty by Bryce Marshall

I've used these micro lugs twice for a total of about 7 miles. They are easier to put on than I expected, the rubber stretches well and they stayed put. They felt good on my boots and the extra grip made up for the extra weight. I used XL on size 13 hiking boots. They were used only in negative temperatures on solid snow and ice. I used them on an ice covered rock cliff and they worked well, but I didn't have the guts to rely on them next to a 300ft drop. I last tried them on an icy gravel slope and was very impressed with the grip. A bit pricey but if they last a reasonable amount of time I'm very satisfied. UPDATE: Went another 8 miles in packed snow and they worked great until the temp was over 35 degrees and the snow turned to wetland. I had a little problem with the snow under my feet. I took them off for the last mile and just walked in hiking boots, no problem. As long as they don't wear out and work much better at low temperatures. I still like these spikes and will use them when conditions are right.
