Hillsound Equipment
Hillsound has their new FlexSteps lightweight crampons that are perfect for city and light trail use, and the more rugged Trail crampon for deep in the woods adventures.
FlexSteps Crampons
The FlexSteps traction devices are different than any other traction device that Hillsound has released because of its sleek design and its 18, low profile, high impact, stainless steel spikes. The crampons are designed for people looking for reliable traction that will perform in the city and on the trails. With flexible spike plates for freedom of movement, the FlexSteps are comfortable to wear and have durable, riveted attachment points for long-lasting performance. The newest addition to Hillsound’s line of durable traction devices will be available in retail locations and online later this fall.
“The FlexSteps open up more opportunities for people to get outside in snow and ice, whether on the trail, during a daily jog around the neighborhood, or taking the dog for a walk,” said Hillsound Marketing Manager YooRa Kang. “We value customer feedback above all else, and there was a great demand for reliable traction that isn’t too bulky or aggressive to use in the city. We hit the sweet spots of sleekness, security, and reliability and are excited to hear what our customers think of our new product.”
