Kahtoola EXOspikes Footwear Traction
The Kahtoola Traction System was developed by hand in a small family workspace called “The Shop” in 1999 and set the direction of our company to develop outdoor products that matter. The KTS was the result of founder and owner Danny Giovale wanting to improve safety for snowy alpine approaches based on his personal experience climbing, and desire to create a product that would get people where they want to go and add a new level of security and performance to lightweight flexible footwear. Kahtoola EXOspikes RUN, HIKE, THRIVE EXOspikes footwear traction sets a new standard for versatile winter traction that delivers true cross-terrain performance for trail runners and hikers. Designed to take a beating, EXOspikes introduces an industry-first TPU Traction Matrix that is more lightweight and abrasion resistant than steel, and enables users to take on a mix of terrain and conditions—including frozen mountain trails, icy roads, and everything in between. DURABLE DESIGN: TPU Traction Matrix is more lightweight and abrasion resistant than steel, and enables users to take on a mix of terrain and conditions. ADDED SECURITY: Integrated toe bail made from TPU material provides added security and prevents the toe from pushing through the front of the elastomer harness. VERSATILE: The open design quickly sheds snow and adapts to a wide range of flexible footwear. EASY REMOVAL: Raised heel tab allows for easy pull-back and removal.
