    I have been looking at yaktracks,. If I had never seen so many of them, I would thingk that coiled spring design, would be slicker then the ice. any how, this year I want to get some good cleats, I don't bounce very well

    Kahtoola Microspikes MSRP $69.95. Look around and you might find them cheaper. Expensive but nice! I've had mine about 4 years now. I wear mine over Lacrosse Alpha Burleys

    Like Milbo, I have an older set of Katoola's and they're great. In the last couple of years they've switched manufacturers and the quality has suffered.

    It'll be SDI Ice Hooper Creepers when I need to replace mine.

    That stinks. They had a great product. It looks like the SDI cleats are a Kahtoola knock off. Should do the job!

    I'm not certain but believe SDI uses their old manufacturer, so same product but different name & cheaper.

    Yaktraks. The coiled springs grip just the right amount and don't tear up other surfaces like a spike would.

    Kahtoolas redesigned them fixed the tearing issue.

    I have yak track too. Fairly easy to put on & light weight so I keep them in my box if there's no snow
