One and half times longer than Microspikes and no front points...not me.
I had my doubts, so that's why I asked.
A half pound of weight savings ain't a big deal...
It's more about saving money than weight at this point. I was planning on buying mountaineering crampons when I was offered the K-10s. Since I wanted to review them regardless of how they'd fit into the gear that I currently own, I was hoping that the K-10s would work well for my plans over the next few months.
I am in the process of upgrading/replacing a bunch of my gear. I guess it partially comes down to spending my money on gear that I know I will get to use. I could buy mountaineering boots and crampons next week and we may not get significant snow until 2016. However, I do know that if I replace my 9 lb tent with something lighter, it will get used this summer. If I knew I'd see conditions in the coming weeks that'd require rigid boots and crampons, they'd already be sitting on my desk.
Gaiters are meant to be torn and repaired...me and Aqua Seal are very good friends.
I used
Tenacious Tape for the first time a couple of weeks ago to repair my gaiters. I have never used Aqua Seal
