Are these suitable for hiking and walking?

If you read my review, you would know I would never buy them again for anything.

You can absolutely take these for a walk! I wear them driving (legal in my state), at the grocery store or shopping, etc. If your wearing them and you take off a jacket you may hear some static electricity but I just take them off before doing that. Any mechanical noise caused by the wire is very minimal. Only thing I worry about is the rain, but I use a 1 gallon zip lock bag for transport to my car if it is raining for a nice cheap additional water resistant case.

No. They don't provide enough cushioning for running long distances but are excellent for walking on all types of terrain.

Hi Linda, Yes, they are great for deep water walking. I walk in 4" water. I especially like that you can adjust the weights. Kathie

These are intended for running so I'm not sure how how they'd work for hiking.

Yes, of course they can be used for deep water walking, but make sure your head remains above this 'deep water'....... :D

I don't think they are to large to carry on a hike, for the money they are an excellent buy.

I haven't worn them hiking in the summer, but I can tell you they are very warm. I only wear them spring to fall, too hot for summer wear.

This is a large size binocular. I use them at home. I don't think I would take them on a hike.

Works based on a consistent stride, so may not be the best for hiking. And with long distances, be careful of overuse tendonitis too, try Treat Your Own Achilles Tendinitis if you get it.

Yes, the running feature works well for walking and hiking. If you're also a runner, however, then walks will really pull down the average speed in your history. You can work around this by creating custom spreadsheets and downloading the data off the watch, but there is not a separate "walk" feature on the watch.

I use them for extreme hiking - Cliffs, Ice, Frozen rivers Etc... You should probably look at a pair of good running shoes with spikes if the conditions call for it to be icy. I would not use these in a Marathon.

I haven't tried them out running, but for walking, they're fine so long as you keep the device within the specified range which is on an arm band. Hope this helps.

Yes. You'd fare well using spikes suitable to the terrain; the larger spikes are good for stability in rugged conditions.

Travelling yes, running, though I have never tried, from what I can see by the design, I doubt they would fair well for running. They aren't the most snug fit. At least on my head. I mean they are perfect for normal walking but I am willing to bet you would probably have to stop to adjust them from time to time if you were running with them on. For me, they just don't feel like they would stay in place if I ran with them.

I've taken them fishing with me where I've done a lot of walking over pretty rough terrain and had no problem. Don't ride motorcycles so I don't know but I think they'd be just fine. They're ruggedly built although you might want to tape the lens covers down while travelling.

I did some research on the YakTrax site and it looks like there are Pro and Extreme versions that would be more suited for hiking. I am a hiker so I was considering these but now I'm thinking that I should get one of the other versions.
