SnowLine Snowline Chainsen City Medium Review

The word 'town' sums it up very well: good for walking on icy sidewalks or from the parking lot to the shops. I just have to remember that my heels are still slippery and I need to focus more on toe-to-heel landings from time to time. Some chains are learnable and not "easy to solve", they are very simple and stick - in the city. Very convenient

Bought this for hiking west in the snow. they worked well at best. The spikes are too small to be effective on snow. If you are in deep snow or on a glacier, get studs with longer studs. These are very light (that's why I bought them) but fell off a couple of times while climbing a boulder. If you use light ice they may work for you.

I run trails all year round. When it's icy, I prefer to run in my 14-stud SnowLine boots, but they're bulky so I don't always take them with me. The Snowline Chainsen City Spikes are so compact (the size of a purse!) that I can carry them in my running vest "just in case”. This is especially useful in the spring when the trails look dry at the beginning of the trail but the higher ground can be covered in ice.
