Winter Hiking Gear List

Hiking in the winter can be tricky so here's some of my favourite gear that makes the experience enjoyable.

Winter hiking in the Canadian rockies can be tricky. Dealing with the cold and being prepared for copious amounts

of snow can be challenging so I've collected this list of products to take the guesswork out when it comes to durable, reliable and comfortable winter gear.

Hillsound Trail Crampon

The Hillsound Trail Crampon is a must-have for anyone looking to hike or run on packed snow or ice. The 1.5 cm spikes provide excellent grip, while the ergonomic plate ensures added stability. The hinged plate flexes with the sole, making it both comfortable and stable. The velcro over-shoe strap keeps the device secure on footwear, and the rubbery harness easily stretches over most boots.
