Hey there, I'm noticing a bunch of new microspike competitors popping up on Amazon. I love my microspikes…but would love a lighter alternative. I've tried the vargo cleats..and they fell off constantly. Also tried some 4 point instep crampons that were a serious trip hazard. Yaktraks fall off and traction is inadequate for my purposes. There's some new brand called "campleader" that makes something to microspikes but with bigger spikes…no weights listed anywhere. Anyone have these? Any other alternatives I should be considering?

http://www.hillsound.com (I do not own a pair). After looking, their freesteps6 is lighter but only with shorter spikes.
Will check out hill sound thanks! I also just noticed that Microspikes have been updated and are now 2oz lighter! Hopefully just as good as my old pair.
Hope so, because I tried the Hillsound shorter spikes and the steel links broke quickly on rough ground.
