Collection: Grip & Be Seen · Frost

It belongs to Frost, our snow and winter experience, and it covers two problems at once, staying upright and staying visible.

You will find winter ice cleats for boots with steel spikes that stretch over everyday shoes, waterproof shoe covers and boot covers with anti-slip soles, hiking leg gaiters that keep snow and mud out of your boots, emergency whistles with compass and thermometer, and loud double-tube signal whistles for calling your group on a trail or the slopes.

Ice cleats are the single most useful item here for anyone walking on icy sidewalks or winter trails; gaiters and boot covers keep your feet dry, and a whistle weighs nothing but carries a long way in the fog. Keep the cleats in the car or the coat pocket from the first frost to the last, and add a clip-on light from Light the Way if you walk home after dark.
