Features
Take fast and light travel to the next level with all the performance of our legendary MICROspikes® footwear traction at a whisper of the weight.
43% lighter than the original, MICROspikes® Ghost replaces steel chains with an abrasion-resistant TPU matrix, an ultra-tough material that cuts bulk without compromising strength. Twelve heat-treated stainless steel spikes deliver aggressive grip, while a hybrid elastomer harness sheds ounces and balances stretch and structure for a secure fit.
Backed by a 4-year warranty, it's built to move fast and pack small for dependable traction and long-lasting durability in mountain terrain.
- Twelve Hardened Stainless Steel Spikes Per Foot - Heat-treated, corrosion-resistant 0.36" spikes dig into icy terrain for confident grip.
- Abrasion-Resistant TPU Matrix - Ultra-tough polymeric base replaces steel chains underfoot to reduce weight without sacrificing durability.
- Hybrid Elastomer Harness - Features stiffer TPR at the toe for security and stretchy TPE at the heel for a snug, lightweight fit.
- Articulating Rivets - Allow spikes to move independently to improve grip on uneven terrain and minimize snow buildup.
- Patented Reinforced Eyelets - TPR inserts embedded at harness connection points strengthen key stress areas for long-term reliability.
- Includes ripstop nylon tote sack for compact storage

AI FAQs
AI generated FAQs about the MICROspikes Ghost
Can I use these on a day hike without them feeling like overkill?
MICROspikes Ghost is built for icy mountain terrain rather than general day hiking, so it may feel like more traction than you need on dry or clear trails. If your day hike includes icy patches or packed snow, its lightweight, packable design means you can bring it along without adding noticeable bulk.
Will these help me feel safer on steep or icy terrain?
Twelve heat-treated, corrosion-resistant 0.36-inch stainless-steel spikes per foot deliver aggressive grip on icy terrain. Articulating rivets let the spikes move independently to improve grip across uneven mountain terrain.
How do I know if these will stay attached while I'm hiking?
The hybrid elastomer harness combines stiffer TPR at the toe for security with stretchy TPE at the heel for a snug, lightweight fit. Reinforced eyelets strengthen the harness connection points for long-term reliability.
Do these work well on rocky or uneven terrain where I don't need full traction?
MICROspikes Ghost is built for icy mountain terrain, not for rocky or uneven ground where full traction isn't needed. Its articulating rivets and twelve stainless-steel spikes are designed to dig into ice and snow, so they aren't intended for dry rock surfaces.
How long will these last with regular use on weekend hikes?
MICROspikes Ghost is backed by a 4-year warranty and is built for long-lasting durability in mountain terrain. Its abrasion-resistant TPU matrix replaces steel chains underfoot without compromising strength.
How should I store these when I'm not using them?
A ripstop nylon tote sack is included for compact storage. You can use the tote sack to keep the traction device packed small between outings.
Will these rust or corrode if they get wet and I don't dry them immediately?
The 12 spikes per foot are made from heat-treated, corrosion-resistant stainless steel. These spikes are built to deliver confident grip in icy terrain.
Do heavier traction devices work better, or is weight a real concern I should factor in?
MICROspikes Ghost cuts weight by 43% versus the original MICROspikes, replacing steel chains with a TPU matrix while keeping twelve heat-treated stainless-steel spikes per foot. This means you get the same aggressive grip without the extra ounces that can add up on long, fast-moving days in the mountains.
Should I choose something minimal or get maximum grip for peace of mind?
MICROspikes Ghost combines a lightweight build with 12 heat-treated stainless-steel spikes per foot for aggressive grip. The TPU matrix and hybrid elastomer harness cut weight and bulk while maintaining strength and a secure fit.
