"In many parts of the country, snow and ice are a way of life during the cold winter months, but icy weather shouldn't prevent us from getting around or enjoying our favorite outdoor activities," said Greg Stryker, Marketing Director at Implus, parent company of Yaktrax. "At Yaktrax, we help people stand up to winter through a full range of traction devices that easily attach to any pair of shoes or boots."
Named after the sure-footed Tibetan Yak, Yaktrax offers a wide array of ice traction devices and winter accessories. Yaktrax provides solid, predictable traction for anyone working or playing outdoors in the winter.
The U.S. is currently experiencing a "La Nina" weather pattern, with meteorologists forecasting a colder and wetter than average winter throughout the Rockies, Great Lakes and New England portions of the country. In snowy and icy conditions, falls become more prevalent. According to recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 800,000 patients a year are hospitalized because of a slip or fall injury, most often due to a head injury or hip fracture.
