About Yaktrax

Once in place, a grid of skidlock steel coils give users the traction of the famed mountain sheep on hard-pack snow and ice. As you walk or jog, dozens of edges bite into snow and ice, providing stability and grip in all directions. Ideal for avoiding slips and spills on snow and ice, users can take their normal stride without fear of falling or risking injury. YAKTRAX is available at over 10,000 retail locations in over 20 countries. For more information, please visit www.YAKTRAX.com or www.implus.com.
