Crampons and Microspikes – Grip on Ice and Snow

Crampons and microspikes for winter outings

Crampons and microspikes provide secure footing on ice and hard snow – essential for winter hikes in the mountains and on slippery surfaces in the city.

At Jobb og Fritid you will find crampons and microspikes.

Choose according to use

Urban/lightweight microspikes: chain or spike traction devices for walking paths. Light and easy to use. Hiking crampons: sturdier, for mountain trips and long outings. Technical crampons: aggressive spikes for ice climbing and steep summit routes. Make sure they are compatible with your boots – some models require stiff footwear.

Safety on ice and hard snow

For the North Norwegian winter, with a great deal of ice on the paths, microspikes are affordable insurance against falls and injuries. Urban microspikes are suited to walking paths and everyday city use. Traditional crampons with multiple spikes are suited to mountain hiking. Technical crampons are required for ice climbing and steep summit routes.
