Kahtoola MICROspikes Ghost Footwear Traction Device

Kahtoola's MICROspikes® Ghost takes ultralight footwear traction to the next level. Move fast and travel light with high-performance MICROspikes® grip designed for snowy, mountainous terrain. Weighing 43% less than the original MICROspikes® footwear traction, the MICROspikes® Ghost cuts bulk without compromising strength by replacing steel chains with an abrasion-resistant TPU matrix. Kahtoola's weight-saving, durable design makes it the perfect traction device for ultralight thru-hikers needing traction on technical terrain. Twelve heat-treated stainless steel spikes provide aggressive grip, while hybrid elastomer harness sheds ounces and balances stretch and structure for a secure fit. Packs small, and performs big for dependable traction and long-lasting durability wherever the trail leads. 

Features

• Twelve hardened stainless steel spikes per foot - Heat-treated, corrosion-resistant spikes dig into icy terrain for a confident grip
• Abrasion-resistant TPU matrix - Ultra-tough polymeric base replaces steel chains underfoot to reduce weight without sacrificing durability
• Hybrid elastomer harness - Features stiffer TPR at the top of the toe for security and stretchy TPE at the heel for a snug, lightweight fit
• Articulating rivets - Allow spikes to move independently to improve grip on uneven terrain and minimize snow buildup
• Patented reinforced eyelets - TPR inserts embedded at the harness connection points strengthen key stress areas for long-term reliability
