Unigear

Heavy fabric, and spikes located rather than counted

What they cover here

A boot rucksack and a set of ice grips.

Where their listings pull ahead

The grips are the only ones on their shelf that say where the spikes are — sixteen at the forefoot, eight at the heel. Twenty-four spikes clustered in the wrong place is a different product from twenty-four spread properly, and the count alone cannot tell them apart.

The rucksack uses 1680D nylon, the heaviest fabric on its shelf, over a base built to be stood on.

Where they slip

The rucksack gives three different volumes between its title and its text — 50 L and 70 L in one place, about 55 L in another.

The live figure beside a product went and asked the shop for it the moment this page opened; any amount written into the text has not moved since the sentence was drafted, and it is the first of the two that counts.
