All snowline spikes at a glance
Stainless steel claws and chains
For snowline spikes only selected steel qualities are used, for example SUS 420J2 (X30Cr13) stainless martensitic chrome steel for the claws and for the chain links usually very corrosion-resistant stainless steel 18/10 (SUS304).
Reinforced eyelets
All models (except KIDS and WALK) have reinforced eyelets to ensure maximum strength of the connection between the elastomer rubber and the stainless steel chain. To prevent the eyelets from breaking, they are made of thermoplastic (TPR) with high UV resistance.
Tear-resistant elastomer
The core of the snowline spikes is the elastomer rubber, which, thanks to the special material properties, fits perfectly on the shoe even without additional straps or buckles and prevents the spikes from slipping in changing terrain. Each piece is marked with the month and year of production to ensure seamless traceability.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
Shoe spikes are personal protective equipment. Although there are now numerous imitations on the market, the quality of snowline is unrivalled. Our models are CE-certified as anti-skid and TÜV-tested . Pay attention to the test marks when making your purchase decision!
