Yatta Life Trail Spikes Crampon Ice Grips

Really promising product but both broke after the second use.Contacted by customer service agreed on a replacement and customer service failed to write back with shipping address.

I live in Alaska and every year I have to replace my cleats, but no more! These cleats are incredible, very durable. I bought two pairs for my wife and I and they are rugged and work very well. The links are solid, usually the links are the weak part. I walk on a mix of solid ice, snow and concrete and the spike have not bent or deformed, I was worried they would. I don't know when I'll need another pair but when I do I am buying another pair of these. The seller also contacted me via email shortly after the purchase however I couldn't comment because we did not have any ice where I live but now we've had plenty of snow and ice.Update: I have had these cleats for almost a year and a half. Unfortunately one of the links broke on the heel for whatever reason, maybe I stepped on the right rock. A simple email to Yatta Life and Terry is shipping me a replacement pair. Very quick communication and very helpful!! Happy New Year Yatta Life!

I have 120+ km of hiking over white ice (snow that has melted and refrozen) and blue ice (water ice).Every step has been taken in total confidence - even on very steep ascents and descents.They're showing zero wear even though I crossed several sections of pavement.In my opinion the sizing runs a touch small. I am using an extra large over a 10 and 1/2 US hiking boot. My wife is using a large over a women's 9 and 1/2 hiking boot.I have used ice spikes from other manufacturers and they all failed early. These ones are robust and offer excellent traction.If I had a suggestion for the manufacturer it would be to add a size XXL for boots size 12 and above.

When our Yatta Life Crampons arrived we immediately knew the correct choice had been made. The product is both well designed and manufactured.As photographers we spend a great deal of time outdoors, working in various environmental conditions. Keeping safe is at the top of our list. Anyone from Alberta knows how fast our weather can change.Our previous spikes cost almost as much, but never seemed to work properly. The grip was never consistent nor could we get them tight enough to our hiking boots.First thing we noticed was how easy they were to get on our boots. The one-piece rubber design grips the boots tight. No mess around with adjusting buckles, laces or straps.Yesterday we hit a trail hike in Crowsnest Pass to test our new gear. A short 2.1km trek around Star Creek Falls. The real test was going to be the elevation changes. The Yatta Life Crampons did amazing. Zero slipping or falling. Consistent traction throughout the hike, including pretty steep inclines. I can’t wait to get out again next week!!One last comment, the crampons come with a storage pouch (previous sets we purchased did not). It may not be a big deal to most people. Personally, I think going that extra step shows amazing attention to detail and customer satisfaction.Two big thumbs up to the Yatta Life Team.

I know these are a little more expensive than the Yak Tracks but I hike twice a day with my dogs in some pretty rough terrain lots of loose dirt and leaves then cover it with ice or snow and go up steep hills no hiking boot works. I always see the yak tracks hanging at the trail head cause they fall off. I put these on an old pair of hiking boots and they are great! I keep them in a bag in my truck just in case I need them.
