The Best I've Used.

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.

Walk, Hike, Or Run With Confidence

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.

Exceptional Product

My wife and been using theses for the last 12 years, every winters, on hicking journey. I had to repair them only once, on all 12 years. Imagine that, it must best my most reliable piece of equipement. Now rubber is a bit dry and fit is a tad bigger. Will replace with same thing for sure.

Safety Issue -Shouldn’t Be Called A Crampon

Please stop using the term crampon when the gear is not a technical crampon. I live in an area with severe winter hiking conditions and keep coming across people new to winter hiking who believe they are using a crampon - in crampon appropriate conditions - and this is not a crampon. Please rename this product appropriately.

Security ! Security ! Security !

I have been using these crampons for over 7 years and I have never felt so safe in Winter Ice and snow conditions. Climbing up or down on ice, I always feel secure and that is why I use crampons. The velcro strap ensures that I have never had the crampons slip. The only issue is when they get wet, they will start to accumulate snow and form ice balls on the bottom of the crampons... Need to find a wood log on the trail to scrape it out.. But love my crampons and the quality... Hillsound is the market leader and I have no hesitation given them a strong thumbs up.
