Is this good for hiking in snow

I did some research on the YakTrax site and it looks like there are Pro and Extreme versions that would be more suited for hiking. I am a hiker so I was considering these but now I'm thinking that I should get one of the other versions.

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.

It's not too thick, you can use it in the snow but you need a couple of extra layers

Yes. It has been used in fairly heavy rain and snow. As long as the rain fly is used it holds up well.

Yes. Very water proof. Have not tried in the snow yet but I am sure it will be fine.

if the snow is soft and fluffy, then fine. but i had a tough time working this through wet snow that was 7-8 inches. It took me time and a lot of effort to push through the snow. Henceforth, I am not going to take this out in wet snow... a waste of time.

It would not work in your winters. It's not very thick or strong enough to hold snow.

No - it's too light. Especially if your coming to Colorado, it's COLD here and our snow is big. Even with synthetic base and fleece, just not warm or waterproof enough

I would think pretty good.. I use them for snow blowing in the winter, but they fit well and don't move around. They are well made.

It works fine in the rain, no issues. I haven't encountered any snow so I can't answer to that.

Pretty much so. I used it in in the high Sierra at above 11,000 ' this past spring and encountered a hard rain and wet snow. It did it's job well. It's also a very good windbreaker. At some point, all rain jackets lose some of their repellency. I've only had it about a year so i cannot tell how long it will work without leaking, but my expectation is that it'll work well for a few years yet.

Eletronics are water resistant. Yes it can go in the snow. The mechanical parts (axles, gears) will need increased maintenance if you wet them. Search YouTube for videos on snow and water, lot's of people do it, but specific care is needed.

it's primarily meant to use in the snow, I don't see how you would break it using it there. it is built pretty well.

Absolutely does and so wonderfully, as long as the snow moisture content is very low. If the moisture content is high (one snow fall was) it becomes easier to use a snow shovel. Hope this helps.

It is great on about 5 inches as I've tried it last winter. As long as it is powdery and not the icy sticky kind of snow.

I don't hike or backpack because of back problems so I can't speak to that. I bought it for summer wear only. Walking my dogs in the field when the temps are in the 80s and 90s, it is very light and comfortable. I don't think it would provide warmth in cold weather. I love it's lightness and would own more colors if I could get the size I want. I bought a size that is very large on me with the idea of using it as a beach cover-up.
