I ended up getting the bean river treads instead of the ultra lights and I'm very happy with them (granted I've only tried them on and wore them around the house for a bit). They are only $10 more than the ultra lights and I don't notice much of an increase in weight from the ultralights (I tried on a friends). They're much more supportive and look to be built tougher. Bean doesn't recommend the ultralights for difficult terrain and I was only able to find raving reviews of the river treads.
