High-quality remote switch makes no clicking sound with no flickering or loss of light intensity. Low battery warning. Battery discharge, wrong polarity, and over-discharge protection.

ICEtrekkers Diamond Grip attaches dozens of case-hardened alloy steel grippers to the bottom of a shoe or boot. The patented six-pointed “diamond beads” are strung on steel aircraft cable to put literally hundreds of biting edges under the heel and the ball of the foot to grip ice, hard-packed snow, icy rock or gravel. Unlike spikes, Diamond Grip spreads the load evenly from heel to toe, eliminating uncomfortable “hotspots.” And the rubber sling lets you slide them on or off in just seconds, even when wearing heavy winter gloves. Suggested retail $41.95. Contact: ICEtrekkers, Dept. FFG, 2001 T.W. Alexander Dr., P.O. Box 13925, Durham, NC 27709; (866) 925-8729; icetrekkers.com

FFG, 6000 Huntington Court NE, Cedar Rapids, Iowa 52402; (319) 395-0321; hunterspec.com
