jacdaw Dec 2023 12:58pm, 5 Dec 2023 4,176 posts	Quote Pin jacdaw Any thoughts on Kahtoola microspikes vs exospikes? I probably would like both, but that would be 2 sets (me and mrs) x 2 models = £200+ for something that might only get used a couple of times a year.
Merry Christmas and Happy NewG(rrr) Dec 2023 1:03pm, 5 Dec 2023 48,721 posts	Quote Pin Merry Christmas and Happy NewG(rrr) I have both jacdaw - Micro Spikes and Nano Spikes. Love them both. Micros are huge! Like crampons, almost. Need 2 or 3 cm snow or ice. Not good with exposed tarmac or rocks. Nanos are more forgiving - more like traditional studs or very small spikes in a shoe, but obviously they go over your normal shoe. While expensive, I've had the Micros for over 10 years and still going strong, so good value in that sense. G

flanker Dec 2023 1:48pm, 5 Dec 2023 21,073 posts	Quote Pin flanker Had micros for a while and while only used occasionally they have done the job when needed. If it's for in the hills I'd say they are the better option. I do find they tend to ball up with snow and need kicking clean quite often. If it's just for icy pavements I'd go with one of the smaller options.

Northern Exile Dec 2023 2:02pm, 28 Dec 2023 10,013 posts	Quote Pin Northern Exile Has anyone got any experience of the X-Talon Ultra v2 and if they are a significant improvement on the original X-Claw/X-Talon Ultra. As has been said here before, I found the XTU to be a very unstable shoe, but that could have been my fault in using unsuitable inserts.
