Mr. Jin-Hong Choi, the founder

Company founder Jin-Hong Choi recognized the need for a very lightweight, flexible crampon on his expeditions. He was the first to combine state-of-the-art elastomer rubber with a sturdy chain and biting stainless steel claws. The result was a completely new, innovative product category that ensures safety and grip with minimal pack size. With the invention of Snowspikes, lightweight crampons with a rubber edge, company founder Jin-hong Choi laid the foundation for a global success story. In May 2022, Mr. Jin-Hong Choi received the "Best CEO" award in South Korea.

High-tech elastomer

Thanks to their elastomer construction, snowline spikes fit securely on your shoe without the need for additional straps or buckles, and can be put on and taken off in seconds.

The manufacturing standards of snowline spikes are regularly monitored by TÜV.

Quality assurance

The manual final inspection of each pair goes through several stages. We are very aware that defects in workmanship during use on steep terrain (e.g., when crossing snowfields) can quickly have fatal consequences. As the inventor of modern shoe spikes, snowline sets the industry standards in this product segment not only in product development but also in manufacturing and quality assurance.
