Snow & Ice
Snow & Ice Gear for Every Maine Winter
When a trail turns to ice, traction changes the whole day. Our Snow & Ice collection covers everything built to bite into hard snow and ice: microspikes, crampons, ice axes, and the boots and extras that go with them.
Browse by what you need:
- Icy trails and packed snow: Kahtoola MICROspikes and EXOspikes, which stretch over any boot you already own
- Roads, paths and winter running: lighter studded traction that grips pavement without the clanking
- Steep snow and hard ice: hiking and technical crampons from Kahtoola, CAMP and Petzl
- Ice climbing: ice axes and tools, plus the stiff boots they need to work safely
- Extras: crampon bags, gaiters and replacement parts
Not sure which type you need? Our guide to choosing winter traction explains the difference in plain terms, without the spec-sheet talk.
Build your complete setup:
- Snowshoes for deep, soft snow where spikes have nothing to grip
- Mountaineering Boots stiff enough to hold a crampon properly
- Avalanche Safety beacons, probes and shovels for backcountry days
- Ski Poles for balance on ice and uneven snow
- Men's Baselayer and Women's Baselayer to start the layers right
Traction is sized to your footwear, not your foot. Bring the boots you plan to wear to our Bangor or Bar Harbor store and we will fit a pair against them.
