MICROspikes Ghost Lightweight Traction | Kahtoola®

Canada's Source for Ultralight Traction

Featherweight Grip for Fast Winter Travel

The Kahtoola MICROspikes® Ghost delivers the same aggressive traction the brand is known for at a fraction of the weight. Built for fast-and-light travel on icy trails, it replaces traditional steel chains with an abrasion‑resistant TPU matrix to cut bulk without sacrificing strength. Twelve heat‑treated stainless steel spikes bite into hardpack and ice for confident movement in mountain terrain.

Purpose Built for Trail Running and Technical Approaches

The hybrid elastomer harness uses stiffer TPR at the toe for security and stretchy TPE at the heel for a snug, low‑profile fit. Articulating rivets allow each spike to move independently, improving grip on uneven surfaces and reducing snow buildup. Reinforced eyelets strengthen high‑stress connection points for long‑term reliability.

Field Ready Features for Canadian Conditions

Designed for runners and hikers who need dependable traction without added weight, the MICROspikes® Ghost packs down small and includes a ripstop nylon tote for storage. Backed by a four‑year warranty, it’s built for repeated freeze‑thaw cycles, mixed snow, and icy singletrack where secure footing matters most.
