Crampons

Non-slip boot overlays, which we present on our MILITARY.EU website, are an essential accessory for snowy and icy hiking trails. The purpose of anti-slip shoe overlays is to add traction and stability to our boots in difficult winter conditions. This will translate into increased comfort, but also - and perhaps most importantly - ensure our safety.

Good anti-slip shoe toppers should be made in a durable but flexible material, such as Thermoguma. It is very malleable and we can easily put overlays made of it on our shoes. This material adapts to the shape of our shoes, and with the included adjustable straps, we can adapt the overlays to the specific size of our shoes.

When setting out on a mountain winter trail, we can not always predict what weather we will find. Therefore, it is worth including hiking crampons in our equipment, so as to be prepared in case the weather changes. This type of equipment should be lightweight, so as not to overload our equipment, which is especially important when hiking for many hours. The crampons should also be compact, so that we can fit other equally important accessories in our equipment, without forcing us to make selections. The spikes, the elements by which we penetrate the ground, should be sharp and made of a material that can withstand outdoor conditions, such as galvanized steel, additionally protected by powder paint.

Equipment with the above features can be found from a Polish manufacturer - Rapeks Outdoor. This manufacturer has several years of experience in the production of hiking accessories, and their leading product is precisely hiking crampons. This product is made of modern and ultralight materials - achieving the lowest possible weight. A dozen stainless steel teeth are responsible for the stability of our gait, and the perfect fit to our trekking or winter boots is ensured by a system of stainless steel chains, a Velcro strap and a rim made of resistant and flexible rubber. Rapeks also offers crampons for less demanding trails, such as muddy approaches or forests, which, depending on the model, have up to 4 to 8 teeth.

Rapeks Outdoor also offers anti-slip pads made of thermoplastic rubber, which are applied to the sole of one's boot. Equipment of this type guarantees us reliability even up to -40 degrees Celsius.

On our site you will also find products from Artimate from the UK. Artimate's anti-slip shoe topper is lightweight, flexible and very durable, thanks to its manufacture from thermogum. Stable walking (even on the ice rink) is ensured by equipping it with several spikes, protecting us from slipping. This type of equipment will not take up a lot of space in our backpacks or burden our shoulders with its weight.

You will, of course, find an offer of non-slip shoe pads at MILITARY.EU. You can choose models from manufacturers such as Rapeks or Artimate. Other necessary hiking accessories and clothing you will also find on our website.
