Black Diamond Access Spike Traction Device

• Stretches over most trail shoes, so one pair of spikes suits several shoes
• 8mm spikes bite into snow and ice but stay steady on rock
• Heel loop makes pulling them on with cold hands easier
• Front-point spike helps when you push off the toe on steep, hard snow

• Spikes: 14 stainless steel, heat treated
• Spike length: 8mm
• Chain: Stainless steel
• Harness: TPR elastomer, dual density reinforced eyelets
• Front point: Spike positioned for toe-off
• Heel: Nylon webbing loop for on/off and heel identification
• Sizes: S to XL

• Winter training runs on frozen or snowy trails
• Alpine scrambles in changeable terrain
• Icy tracks where normal outsoles slide

Less suited to: Dry, snow-free trails and road, where spikes are just extra weight and noise. For that, look at Trail Footwear.

Ice makes a good trail shoe feel like a skating rink, and spikes are the cheap fix. The Access Spike is a proven Black Diamond design with a simple harness that goes on and off quickly. It earns its spot in the Kinisi Running winter kit bag.
