Walking On Ice: Stabilicers, Yaktrax, etc...

[Irulan]

I was looking into similar products for a disabled relative. There are lots of reviews online, there are definitely some products out there that get consistently crappy reviews.

Never too early to plan ahead
it gathered a lot of interest, didn't it? Walking in icy conditions terrifies me. I'm old, what if I break a hip?
I missed it the first time around but probably be investing in Yaktraks this winter.

I have bought and used both YakTrax and Get-a-grip pull on ice grippers....used both a LOT since I do fitness walking in the wintertime on the streets and roads.
I find the Yaktrax typically only last one season before the metal coils eat their way through the rubber and break. The Get a Grips have little titanium spikes instead of coils, and they grip better and last twice as long for me.
