Black Diamond Blitz Spike Traction Device - XL

Black Diamond Blitz Spike traction device in Extra Large combines a minimalist profile with rugged materials for reliable winter grip. The low-profile design positions six stainless-steel spikes under the forefoot (8 mm length) to bite into snow and ice while still providing stable contact on rock and hard-packed surfaces.

• Minimalist construction with heel-retention elastomer and a webbing toe loop for a secure fit and straightforward on/off use.
• Six stainless-steel forefoot-only spikes, optimized at 8 mm for balanced traction and mobility.
• Reinforced dual-density elastomer eyelets for long-term durability and consistent performance.
• Heel webbing loop for easy application and removal, even while wearing gloves.

Designed to slip over footwear and improve confidence on trails, approaches, sidewalks, and mixed winter terrain. The forefoot-only spike layout preserves natural stride and agility while providing dependable bite on snow and ice. Not intended as a replacement for technical crampons on steep ice or high-angle mountaineering.

Care instructions: rinse away grit and salt after use, allow to dry fully, and store away from direct heat to protect the elastomer components.
