Manufacturer:
The Kahtoola MICROspikes Ghost are the lightest version yet of the legendary traction system, built for fast-and-light movement in icy, mixed mountain terrain. Weighing 43% less than the original, they swap steel chains for a tough TPU matrix without sacrificing grip or durability. With twelve heat-treated stainless steel spikes and a hybrid elastomer harness for a secure fit, they deliver dependable traction while packing down small. Perfect for mountain runners, hikers, and anyone who needs aggressive grip at a fraction of the weight.

The Kahtoola MICROspikes Ghost deliver ultralight performance with all the grip of the original MICROspikes at just over half the weight. Built for fast, efficient movement on icy and variable terrain, they use an abrasion-resistant TPU matrix instead of steel chains for reduced bulk and lasting strength. Twelve heat-treated stainless steel spikes bite into frozen ground, while articulating rivets improve traction on uneven surfaces and limit snow buildup. The hybrid elastomer harness combines stiff TPR at the toe for stability with stretchy TPE at the heel for a snug, easy fit. Reinforced eyelets enhance durability, and the included ripstop nylon tote keeps them packable. Backed by a 4-year warranty, the MICROspikes Ghost provide maximum traction with minimal weight, which is ideal for speed-focused mountain adventures.

Lightweight Design: 43% lighter than original MICROspikes.
Twelve Stainless Steel Spikes: 0.36" (9 mm), heat-treated, corrosion-resistant spikes for aggressive grip.
TPU Traction Matrix: Replaces steel chains to cut weight without losing durability.
Hybrid Harness: Stiff TPR at toe and stretchy TPE at heel for balance of security and comfort.
Articulating Rivets: Spikes move independently for grip on uneven terrain and reduced snow buildup.
Reinforced Eyelets: Patented design strengthens key stress points for long-term use.
Compact Storage: Includes ripstop nylon tote sack.
Warranty: Backed by a 4-year Kahtoola warranty.
