An interchangeable leafspring conveniently adjusted sizing from Steve's gargantuan feet to Marcie's dainty ones. Slippage is close to nil on all surfaces.
January/February 2006 - KTS Aluminum by Kahtoola
Description: Shiny red anodized aluminum with ten short points and nylon straps. One size fits all.
Pros: WE SAID: As runners AND climbers, we loved this product. An interchangeable leafspring conveniently adjusted sizing from Steve's gargantuan feet to Marcie's dainty ones. Slippage is close to nil on all surfaces. This would work great on a trip with both running and light mountaineering elements. HE SAID: These look frickin' cool!
Cons: WE SAID: Although it worked great, it was still a crampon. The metal points hit hard on rocks and we wouldn't prefer to wear it on intermittent snow/ice covered pavement. We also found that we didn't fly down hills quite as freely due to the superior traction (sometimes it stuck a little too well). SHE SAID: Not being the gear head my husband is, I found the intial adjustment took a little longer than my get-it-out-of-the-box-and-go personality liked. But once adjusted, it could be put on within minutes.
