Vibram's Arctic Grip Tech

Bushwalking gear and paraphernalia. Electronic gadget topics (inc. GPS, PLB, chargers) belong in the 'Techno Babble' sub-forum.
Forum rules
TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Have the Gear Boffins posted this? Non slippy soles? At last?

And they're only ten times the price while lasting a tenth of the distance*. Ain't tech great?

Probably, I do think you're only meant to wear one of these shoes at any given time though, some savings there.

same idea with winter tires, if you are only on snow and ice, it really limits the wear. In those circumstances what's the price of an intact tailbone?

If they are as good on wet rock I'd imagine there will be a huge market.
