Hillsound Trail Crampon

I have been using the same pair of Trail Crampon for 2 years now. They have not broken, and I have never had them slip off my boots either. No other microspikes I have used have stayed on so well nor have had such robust durability. I have rucked 50+ lbs with them on, ran downhill, and all the regular activites you use them for as well. They really bridge the gap between microspikes and crampons, although not ideal you can get decent traction on complete ice with them on.

Section hiker on the AT and VT long trail thru hiker. These have never let me down. Allows hiking with confidence even on the slick terrain.

I've had these for 5 years and still going strong. Love winter hiking and they've definitely gotten their use. One of the few items I have not needed to upgrade or replace. Love them!

Great crampons! I call them « killer » crampons. I wear them to walk on the mountain on Mount-Royal in the winter and am very happy with them.

Bought these for dog hikes, I’ve have had over 20 days this season hiking the mountains during cold spells through ice and rocks. Doesn't seem to be letting down anytime soon.

This is my fifth set of hiking crampons from various brands. These are by far the best. Easy to out on. Don't move while hiking. Durable.

I bought Trail Crampon for hiking on potentially icy terrain (e.g., Cascades, Rockies, White Mountains, Adirondack, etc.) during spring/late fall, but I ended up breaking them out early so I could still hike during the storm that just covered Tennessee (and half of the U.S.) in snow/ice. I first tried with just my hiking boots and trekking poles because who needs microspikes in Tennessee? After a few miles of slipping, sliding, and halving my walking speed, I gave my Trail Crampons a try. INSTANT GAME CHANGER! No more slipping, no more sliding: just comfort and confidence. The hinged plate system is superb--unlike other microspikes I've tried, there is absolutely no "spike slop" due to connections between the spikes stretching/flexing/twisting with each step. Every step is stable and predictable, yet the hinged plate allows for a normal/natural gait. I highly recommend these for hard-packed snow or ice. A few notes: (1) I wear size 10.5 Merrell or Salomon hiking boots and size 11 Brooks running/trail running shoes and the Medium size fit better than the Large size; (2) I wore the Trail Crimpons on my Merrell hiking boots (rigid sole) and Brooks Cascadia trail runners (flexible sole) and was equally comfortable in both.
