Snowline

Snowline is a Korean label founded in 1991, and it made its name with lightweight traction spikes, the sort of thing you slip over your boots when the pavement turns to ice or you're crossing a glacier on an easy tour. Those spikes are praised for their grip on frozen ground, and they're practical for everyday winter use as well as for the hills.

From there the range grew to take in light, sturdy folding trekking poles and gaiters. It's a focused line-up for winter walking and touring, built around small pieces of kit that earn their place in your pack rather than a full wardrobe of clothing.
