Trail Crampon Pro

Fido might be able to claw up steep, icy hikes, but you would have a slippery time if it weren't for Hillsound's Trail Crampon Pro. With ten carbon steel spikes, this traditional, non-technical crampon assures traction and a lightweight feel specifically designed for winter hiking. The ratchet buckle binding straps firmly to any hiking boot, and the length adjusts simply and securely thanks to the included Allen wrench. Anti-balling plates prevent snow from balling underfoot, and the alpine stopper prevents the ratchet buckle from loosening in deep snow.

Essential winter hiking equipment

Bought these for my first foray into winter climbing. Considered just microspikes but so glad I opted for these Trail Crampon PROs. I was able to complete the hike with great confidence and not a single loss of traction. Those wearing microspikes were struggling and slipping. Fit, adjustability, quality, construction, and purchase experience all top notch. Would buy again.

Great product

Great, they work well, collapse nicely to be compact. Would be nice to have a bag included with them though. Live and play in newfoundland perfect for the trails.

Not worth it

Plastic straps that breaks first time wearing this, do not recommend. I got lucky I wasn’t on a very steep mountain wearing these, since I was left with no traction. Saw a lot of people complaining about the same item on a hiking fb group in NH too. Very unfortunate since it’s my first experience with the brand.

The BEST Crampons!

These are the BEST crampons. I use them all the time for my daily walk in the winter. I'm a little older now (63), and a slip and fall accident is a bigger deal than it was when I was younger. The peace of mind I get from these crampons is wonderful. After years of terrific service, one of the adjustment bars that connects the front and rear pieces broke and Hillsong is sending me a new set free of charge. I just pay shipping. Thanks!

Great Deal

These look like good quality and were a good price. I haven't tried them out yet because I fell on the ice and fractured my wrist. Somewhat ironic.

Trail Crampon Pro FTW!

Ii was looking for an in between traction set that was better than micro spikes and not semi auto crampons. These fit the bill perfectly. Adjustable and good quality. Looking forward to putting them through their paces this weekend in the Cascades.

Not good enough

I agree with another review that the product is not reliable. I bought these few years ago, used once, then packed away dry and out of the light. Took them out to use again and the straps and one buckle had broken/fallen off. Not good enough for essential safety gear. I recommend spend a bit more and get a better product.

Unfortunate

Picked these up at a local shop on my way back from a hike in NH. Had been looking to a better mid range option between slip on mirco spikes and full crampons. Was skeptical about so much plastic but was assured I'd like them. Went for a simple 5mile hike the very next day as a gear shack down nothing too crazy. one thing I was not impressed with was a buckle on the medial side of my boot on narrow sections I was made aware of the buckles as they hit one another. On the return trail the strap broke at it's pivot point on the right boot leaving me with a somewhat useless piece of safety gear. The plate on the underside did keep snow from packing into the sole but the buckle and the failure on it's very first shack down make this a NO go. Money is not the issue I will spend money on good gear but I expect and demand that I can trust my gear; a failure like this doesn't earn second chances with me.

Game Changer

We've both had these these crampons since they became available, and they've completely over performed. Both of us are ten year veterans of snowshoe guiding, and during those ten years we have had the opportunity to evaluate a lot of technical winter products. One thing became clear to us immediately after purchasing the Hillsound® Trail Crampon Pro: just like our favorite snowshoes, these things were amazing. Shoulder season both spring and fall can offer up all kinds of adventure if you have the right footing. Typically, we'll each take a single pole for some added stability on particularly sketchy sections, but on their own they are very trustworthy. And we're talking sheer ice. Like any shoulder season, there are bound to be some bare spots, and we decided early on that we were going to torture test these spikes on anything and everything we could find. We haven't had any failure with them. Nothing. We're going to pick up new pairs of the updated version, as the quick adjustment feature looks like a nice upgrade and we'll have our old pairs to lend out or let others demo them. Over the years, we've become real gear heads and have been exposed to a lot of industry product knowledge. Without hesitation, we can honestly say that the Hillsound® Trail Crampon Pro is a game changer for people who want to get out there in less than ideal traction situations. Even just walking on thin hard pack is an enjoyable experience. You actually forget you have them on. Wish list: BOA dial.
