Microspike vs. Hillsound Crampons

This review is a direct comparison between Kahtoola Microspike Crampons and Hillsound Trail Crampons Crampons. I have a Microspike and my husband has a Hillsound. Both are excellent. We pull them over our boots and embark on a hike through the Gallatin Mountains in Montana. Trails ranged from pure ice to sleet and mud. The spikes handled the conditions as well as tipping and dismounting very well. We felt like we were walking on regular, level ground. Here is a comparison of the two products: The Micro has 12 spikes. Hillsound Spikes 11.- Spike Length: Micro 3/8", Hillsound: Approx. 1/4". - Weight: Micro (11.4-15.6 oz); Hillsound (11.4-13.9 ounces). Hillsound has an additional strap over the boot. But my mic has a very secure and tight fit. A strap is optional. - Both are hardened steel, both are made in Korea (I'm guessing they are made in the same factory), both come with a 2 year warranty. - Micro is an American company, Hillsound is a Canadian company. .In short, both are excellent products. You can't go wrong with either one.
