SM- Have you used the Kahtoola KTS? If so, how would you compare them to the Hillsound? I've not done much in snow/ice, but have busted my butt more times than I care too on wet beargrass and the like on steep side hills. Looking for something to keep in the pack for those types of situations.
My pard's used the KTS and likes them, but was curious at other options. He sent his in to get a strap repaired and they had enough wear that Kahtoola wanted to keep them and sent him a new pair! Two years of pretty heavy use in the Frank Church wore the points to nubs.
