Tested by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute: The Best Snow Grips

The Best Snow Grips

New York, NY, November 1, 2010 - Hammacher Schlemmer announces The Best Snow Grips after they outperformed all other models in tests for gripping ability, fit, and comfort.

"For 27 years, the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute has performed comparison tests to determine which products are The Best of their kind," explained Sheri Camarata, Product Research Supervisor for the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute.

Panelists tested the snow grips on an ice rink and The Best Snow Grips were lauded for "clinging to the ice," and they "did not slip at all," unlike lesser models that were as "slippery as gym shoes" on the ice.

The Best Snow Grips fit "perfectly over shoes and boots" and were easy to put on thanks to a flexible elastomer harness, unlike other grips that were too small and unable to fit properly over shoes.

"The Best Snow Grips earned the highest score for comfort because they were the easiest to walk in and provided the best stability, unlike lesser models that felt uneven underfoot," explained Ms. Camarata.

The Best model's spikes and chains are abrasion- and rust-resistant, plates positioned under the heels and forefeet prevent snow build-up, and they can be worn in temperatures as low as -41º F.

The Best Snow Grips is available from Hammacher Schlemmer for $59.95. For more information, please visit www.hammacher.com/79597 or call 1-800-543-3366.
