TRACTION WITH A TWIST™ – ICE HIKER, ICE RUNNER, ICE WALKER, ICE COMMUTER

Form-fitting freedom. Korkers introduces a versatile, on-demand traction system that’s extremely durable, lightweight, packable, and easy to use. Adjust on the fly with a turn of the Boa® reel to dial in just the right fit, experience ice biting traction of carbide and steel tipped spikes, stow away in your pocket when not in use and brag to your friends about the unheard-of durability guarantee. This is Traction with a Twist™.

“After several years of market research, including interviews with hundreds of active winter consumers, we saw a glaring gap in the market for ice traction products that deliver reliable durability and security at an affordable price” said Korkers Product and Development Director Drew Linth. “Our new collection of Boa® powered ice cleats provide both a dynamic fit that is very secure, as well as superior durability that is backed by an unmatched product guarantee. Four new models address application specific needs and come in a variety of stylish colors. From the simple commute to the office with the Ice Commuter™, to long endurance runs with the Ice Runner™, our new ice cleat collection has you covered. We are very excited to introduce this revolutionary product to the market in Fall of 2018.”
