I have both. The Kahtoola would seem to me...@Karen. I have both. The Kahtoola would seem to me best for steep icy climbing or situations where there is some combination of ice and snow on steeps. I have not tried them in loose snow where they might also be effective or on moderate terrain or flat hard snow where they would seem to be overkill. The ice trekkers are great on icy trail runs, hard snow, and really feel decent for short stretches of pavement. They are very easy to put on. No instep strap as the yak traks have. I also don't have the sensation of the rubber core "rolling" as I feel with the yak traks as the internal cable for the spinning diamond grips is stainless steel. Conclusion ice trekkers fit between yak traks and the Kahtoola for me.
