The Spring hiking season is coming and I've been thinking a lot lately about traction options. Spring hiking here in Colorado often means slippery, muddy trails with patches of ice and snow. There usually isn't enough snow to warrant snowshoes or enough ice to warrant big, heavy crampons but most ordinary hiking boots just don't cut it. I've used Yax Trax in the past and they work great but was wondering what other options are out there that are lighter. I was also looking for something that you don't have to put on and take off. Grip Studs seem to be a good alternative.
