ditto
I'm the one who introduced Rasgoat to Yaktrax. I'd previously had a pair of the Walker model; those had a tendency to fall off in deep snow, and soon broke on a rocky trail, so I replaced them with the Pro model. Those stayed on much better, and lasted longer, but not long enough.
They're very nice to have on moderate packed/icy trails, have negligable weight and bulk, and aren't too expensive, but given the replacement rate I'll be checking out the alternatives (stabilicers, instep crampons, kahtoolas, or just switching early to crampons or snowshoes)
Edit: Katoola Microspikes blow these away! Stabilicers are OK but heavy.

They're OK
I have a pair, and so far I have not broken them. Unlike the others here, I have never used mine on rocks. I only use them on icy spring trails that I have some traction issues with. They work OK in those instances.

They break too easily
Don't waste your time or money on these. Microspikes are far better!

Good for around town
They are good for around town but have no place in the hills.

okayOn steep terrain, they seem to bunch up and not stay in place.
They are not very durable ONLY USE ON MODERATE GRADES AND NOT ON ROCKS!
I do not like to use them on rocky conditions because I feel the durability is just not there.
If used in the proper conditions, These things work very well, Increasing traction dramatically.
