Thanks to Stefan Doering for the review and photos...
I'm an avid hiker all season and up to alpine terrain. I'm very impressed with these Hillsound Equipment Trail Crampon Ultras - easy to get them on and off my hiking boot (even with gloves), they stay perfect in place in steep up and down hill conditions, amazing grip, I tried to trail run - what a fun experience . I love the Velcro strip and the thick rigid silicon strap to hold the crampon tight to my boots! I feel very safe with these trail crampon!
I’m living on Vancouver Island and my favourite Areas are Mt Arrowsmith and Strathacona Park, but even here south island there are some cool small peaks summer and winter.

The mountains are open to you for hiking with the right equipment[/caption]
I would be happy if one or the other picture would inspire people to use the trail crampon ultras on the mountains - I see so many hikers on my trips without proper gear and most of the time I say something for safety reasons .
Oh, one more - I’m very happy about the new store location Valhalla Pure here in Victoria - very cool!
