[pct-l] kahtoola microspikes vs. kahtoola KTS alum

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

I have the microspikes and have worn them. I do not have the aluminum  
crampons but I've seen them. I'm envious of the aluminium ones. If I  
had a choice, I would choose the aluminum ones. My opinion is I think  
you will be happy to keep the aluminum ones and people will be  
envious of you.
