Our View – Black Diamond Distance Spike:
The Black Diamond Distance Spike has an athlete driven design meaning it is what real runners want from a traction device. Built for fast mountain traverses on icey, snowy terrain the Distance Spike has an industry-first hybrid upper which features a softshell toe cover combined with a heel retention elastomer.
The innovative softshell toe cover is designed for ultimate fit, superior packability, and snow protection. The toe cover also helps to keep the Distance featherweight at only 115 grams per device. Drawing from Black Diamonds extensive experience designing climbing crampons, the Distance Spike features 14 spikes which have an optimized 8mm length, designed to provide excellent engagement on snow and ice, with improved stability on rock and hard surfaces. The spikes are made of stainless steel and are heat treated for superior strength, corrosion and wear resistance.
