Maximise the Value of Your Winter Gear with ICEGRIPPER’s Cost-Saving Replacement and Adaptable Products

At ICEGRIPPER, we understand that staying safe on ice and snow shouldn’t mean constantly replacing expensive gear. That’s why we stock a range of cost-saving replacement parts and adaptable products designed to extend the life of your winter equipment—giving you both safety and value.

New Arrival: DuraLink Instep Strap – Repair, Don’t Replace Your Gaiters!

One of the latest additions to our range is the DuraLink Instep Strap. Designed for use with any Kahtoola Gaiter (INSTAgaiter, RENAgaiter, NAVAgaiter, LEVAgaiter). This tough TPU, durable strap allows users to replace only the worn-out component of their gaiters, rather than the entire product. Over time, instep straps inevitably wear down due to abrasion and terrain contact—but now, instead of discarding the whole gaiter, you can simply fit a new strap and carry on.

With the DuraLink Instep Strap, customers benefit from:

• Cost-efficiency: Replace the part, not the product.

• Environmental friendliness: Less waste means a smaller carbon footprint.

• Continued reliability: Keep your gaiters in top condition throughout the winter season.

OC System Replacement Cleats – Renew Your Ice Cleats for Less

For those who have bought ICEGRIPPER Boots fitted with anti slip OC System traction soles, ICEGRIPPER also stocks a selection of OC System Replacement Cleats. These easy-to-install spares restore grip to worn OC cleats without the need for full replacement. Whether you're commuting, working outdoors, or hiking in snowy conditions, having the option to replace worn cleats helps:

• Maintain optimal traction and safety.

• Save on full equipment costs.

• Reduce downtime in winter conditions.

Adapt and Save: ICESPIKE – Turn Old Boots into Ice Grippers

Looking to repurpose old footwear? Our ICESPIKE system offers an innovative way to breathe new life into your favourite boots. By adding ICESPIKE to your existing footwear, you can instantly transform them into reliable, grippy winter boots—ideal for icy pavements, trails, and even work environments. This solution is particularly popular among our DIY-savvy customers. As highlighted in our Winter Tip blog post, ICESPIKE is a smart way to:

• Extend the lifespan of well-worn boots.

Conclusion: Adapt, Amend, Repair – and Save!
