>>268717Do you slip on icy roads and trails frequently?
Do you have the spare cash?
If the answer is yes to both, than go for it.
I've been thinking about what they call "trail crampons" lately, they aren't the super-cheap light-duty rubber pull on's with spikes, but they aren't heavy-duty ice climbing/mountaineering crampons either. Closer to real crampons but with much smaller spikes.
However, we don't get a whole lot of icy coverage days here, just a couple times a year and I'm trying to save my money to get into real mountains this year, so I've held off on them.
