Kahtoola’s® mission is to make the outdoors more accessible and rewarding by building exceptional products. Their story began with a climbing accident in the Italian Dolomites more than two decades ago and has evolved into a quest to design innovative gear that celebrates the positive potential of people.
From hiking crampons to gaiters, Kahtoola® has kept its products on the cutting edge of design and technology since 1996 when its first hiking crampon prototype was created. They're constantly looking to make their line of gaiters and traction products the best they can be through customer input, rigorous testing, and, of course, a healthy dose of ingenuity.
