Product Description
Tried and trusted, these Chainsen cleats offer superior traction in any condition. Available in Pro or Light, both are made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel and freeze-resistant elastomer Read More
steelersteve13The medium and large pro versions are currently $32.47 at backcountry.com. The only way this drop is a good deal if if someone needs the pro version in XL, at which point they can upgrade to the Light version for an extra $1.25 at REI. The timing for this drop is just bad, and the discount percent isn't anything special. These things are on sale all over the internet right now for less than the drop.
So these are both the same weight? Because the description seems to imply that the trail is "lighter" than the claw, but then the specs have them within one gram of each other.

There are three models listed there. According to camp-usa, the claw and trail are new for winter 2017 ie old reviews of the light version do not apply as that's a different model.
From the look of it the trail has shorter spikes than the pro/light/claw and a different heel spike layout than the light. It is listed as lighter than the light, but no concrete weights are on camp-usa
The claw looks to have the pro layout (some of the pics on camp-usa have the toe spikes, some don't - really confusing, but I believe based on the text, it should be the ones with toe spikes), but with the addition of toe spikes to kick steps etc. It is listed as durable construction for heavy use
This massdrop add is misleading because the description references all 3 models, but I believe what is for sale is the trail and claw versions.
I am really unsure of the 8.2oz claw weight based on the info on camp-usa. Can somebody affiliated with massdrop confirm or deny my internet sleuthing and also weigh both sets again to confirm? I would hate to order the claws and find they are 33% heavier than what's listed.
DeenoI mean, the same weight for sturdier construction and more aggressive spikes? That sounds too good to be true, we really need someone to take a look at these and answer, otherwise Im not sure I want to risk it...
Regarding sizing: I have a large as my size 9 fits in the middle of the large range. After putting them on my trail runners (flexible sole), I find that the tension of the elastomer strapping forces the toe to curl back. My sense is that these will be more comfortable with a rigid boot sole as opposed to a trail runner flexible sole. We just lost out snow to a Thunderstorm in March.
