 In a word... Amazing! I had thought about getting some of these for a while now
and I'm glad I did. After a day walking up Bow Fell with the path being nothing
but sheet ice turning to snow around the 650m mark these really came into their
own. I was walking on ice as if it were perfectly dry pavement, while my friend
fell over... well I stopped counting after about 5. If you are thinking of
getting some don't think, just buy them! they give you a lot more confidence
when walking in conditions where full crampons aren't needed but just boots
alone won't cut it. They are very easy to put on and take off and take up very
little space or weight.
If I had to scrutinize them in anyway, I would maybe
say they could do with a bit more protection on the rubber rand, but other
walkers that commented on them (also wearers) said theirs have been fine, but
your mileage may vary.
