I've got some pogu ones, which are cheaper. Quite heavy though and chunky, so you might not be doing much running.
I also have some yaktrax, both the curly ones and the mini spikes. Both are good on sheet ice or icy slabs on the pw etc. Much easier to run it, but tricky to put on with gloves and can ballup and the velcro ices up as well. The mini spikes, seem to have bent, over a year or two. But these are just to get you out of a slippery spot, rather than something that will last decades.
With trousers, make sure they can go on over your shoes. I know it sounds obvious, but worth checking. Some of the walking ones, with zips right up the sides are good, as you can easily vent them, by undoing the zips at the top.
Top tip, take some plastic gloves from the petrol station. They weight nothing, take up little space and when your main gloves wet out, you can put them on. Not super warm, but better than nothing.
