Is this good for hiking? Can we use this as a replacement for micro spikes?

get the yaktrax walking or pro. i think the walking is the cheapest too and they are more meant for hiking.

In my experience and other service member experience, you have to be careful with that bit of rubber in the middle of the sole that connects the springs to the studs and the two rubber bits at the toe. This was just with running. I would not recommend them for hiking, but would stick to something with chains.

These are intended for running so I'm not sure how how they'd work for hiking.

you probably could sling it on to your backpack and have it charge stuff while you hike. it has loops on each of the sides for hooking it into various positions on the side of like a building, so you could tie it to the handle of your backpack or something. the weight is less than a pound, so it should not affect you much.

I have used YakTrax Walk+ (this model), Walk, and Pro for hiking. They're great for a little bit of ice on the trail or lots of snow. The Pro works the best imo, since there are straps. The shape and different material in this model make them much easier to kick off while on the trail. If you're a more serious hiker I would recommend the "extreme" version with the steel spikes.

probably would be ok. the spikes are slow release and last a season according to the maker. if you use them put at edge of drip line and in fewer numbers than usual. b

It's for typical car camping, not ideal for hiking. As for the built in rain fly, I don't know as it hadn't rained when I had to use it. There was some slight mist and it was fine.

For what this one cost I would say this is a great one for hiking. I use it for hunting myself, it keeps track of how far you have walked the path you traveled and it has a lot of extra uses. the topographical map is also great. If you know how to read the topographic part of it you know where cliffs and major hills are. All in All I love it. the only 2 suggestions I would offer to you is get the carry case that is made for it (It has a spot for extra batts) and take extra batts. It seems to not use them too fast however better safe than sorry. I hope this helped you.

This is a large size binocular. I use them at home. I don't think I would take them on a hike.

Maybe not. It's heavy for it's size. I think there are better option, go to an outdoor hiking gear store and try some on to get the best fit.

I bought this as a gift for a friend so I am not sure. Another friend of mine used it on a hike, but I don't recall how he used it. Sorry I can't be of more assistance.

It's a lightweight tent, but I don't think it's specifically designed for hiking. It's a 'stationary' tent. I've been camping with people with hiking tents and their tents were always sleeker in design and 'fit' for carrying. I use this tent for scout camping. I hope this helps.

Not without modification. The spike is permanently attached to the monopod and the rubber foot does not come off. If you don't mind modifying you may be able to do what you want.

It depends on what you hike on. Hard pack in the ADK's they will work fine. Not make for deep unpacked snow.

I've use it to mount it on a walking staff so that I can glance at the GPS while hiking. Use your imagination, the possibilities are endless.

Guess that depends on whether child is average height. However, I believe so as the telescopic nature is good . However consider sized options of other brands, or make bespoke set out of wood so perfect fit. Assume it will not be a tough/hard hike based on age so ruggedness if hand made poles would not be a big issue.

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

I have used it on grass and dirt but you have to be careful and go slow. I would not try to use it on medium rocks or rough trails. The danger is in tipping over.
