2012-08-02 ICEtrekkers

Durham, North Carolina, United States

ICEtrekker's founders, producers of high end tire chains, came across a clever product used by walkers to navigate steep icy hills during the winter. It occurred to them that this concept could be improved upon, so they put their collective expertise together and began developing a line of personal traction devices based on the same principles used for vehicle traction: chains, studs and cables. What became clear in this process was the need to address different types of users, conditions and affordability.
