are these good for hiking and rough-terrain rock climbing?

Varies from person to person. I HIGHLY suggest you find a local place to try them on in person, not all types etc fit the same and some people cannot wear them. The little toes present the biggest problems for people. I wish I had done that first as I had to give my pair away. :(

It will depend on you, I think. I love them for hiking, but you do feel the rocks, so you must place your feet with care. It's nice to feel the ground under you, but it can be less than nice if you're not paying attention. They grip very well and allow your toes to move, so I enjoy them on rocky surfaces, although I would not recommend them for true rock climbing; they can't even come close to what a true climbing shoe can do for you. (I own both!)

Not to my knowledge, they seemed sturdy for the outdoors or air soft, but are fare from Military issue, great price though..!

I use for biking, but they are light-weight and could be used for hiking. Not as comfortable as shorts, however.

I personally bought them for mountain biking, they are light, breathable and have good knuckle protection. They do run a bit small so I recommend get them one size up; enjoy the ride.

Not sure what you are asking here, but these are lightweight trekking poles. Just took them to the Alps and was able to navigate the many downhill grades supporting my 180lb frame.

I use them For outdoor hiking/jogging and they're good. All about situational awareness.

These are felt bottom boots designed to grip river rocks. They don't work well in mud which I am assuming you will be encountering hunting

In Hawai`i on the island of O`ahu there are probably at least 100 hikers that use these and NOT for ice or snow. They work great on slopes w/mud or dry dirt. They also grip on wet stream rocks. Here on O`ahu we've been using them for a few years. Note the company does not say they work on anything but ice or snow, but WE KNOW BETTER.

Well, you lucked out. The Ice Trekkers (diamond grip) are MUCH more durable than YakTrax. For really steep icy conditions, I use my Khatoolahs, but that's maybe 5% of the time.

No. They don't provide enough cushioning for running long distances but are excellent for walking on all types of terrain.

Very well made. Id say they could withstand a small rock, depending on how much force was behind it. I have them on a golf cart which has had some rough terrain go under it.

Yes definitely, it moves over rugged terrain and hills with little effort. It's great for hiking and trails.

Btw. Yes these are typically used on a mountain bike but can also be a nice addition for riding big hills in KY. Most 30 speed tourers have these 11-32 to help when climbing hills with lots if weight. Hope this helps. Ps. I called my tech in boulder to see if this would work and he said no problem.

They are not climbing crampons, but do attach firmly to your boot. They worked very well in icy/muddy conditions, throw in loose gravel you have an added difficulty, but these are the best I have found.

They were great for hiking with the dogs but I did not run with them. I do not think they would hold up because when I look at them this summer they were rusted and the chains broken as a result of that. Perhaps if you take good care to dry them after each use...hope this helps

I wouldn't hesitate to use them in that environment...I use mine as an all purpose wildlife observation tool and an aid in identifying game that comes out in the fields next door some 430 yards down range...

Probably OKill for those. Depends so much on what you want them for. If hiking with them pick a pod based on weight is my advice.
