Kahtoola MICROspikes Ghost Footwear Traction

Our View – Kahtoola MICROspikes Ghost Footwear Traction:

The Kahtoola MICROspikes Ghost Footwear Traction device is a brand-new addition to the already exceptional Kahtoola ice and snow grip range. Aimed specifically at runners these ice spikes offer aggressive yet ultra-light traction.

Take fast and light travel to the next level with the performance of our legendary MICROspikes® footwear traction at a whisper of the weight.

43% lighter than the original, MICROspikes® Ghost replaces steel chains with an abrasion-resistant TPU matrix, an ultra-tough material that cuts bulk without compromising strength. Twelve heat-treated stainless-steel spikes deliver aggressive grip, while a hybrid elastomer harness sheds ounces and balances stretch and structure for a secure fit.

Backed by a 4-year warranty, they’re built for ultralight performance and long-lasting durability in mountain terrain.
