Atlas Elecktra 10 Series Snowshoe - Women's

Atlas made the Women’s E10 Series Elektra Snowshoe to make your winter hiking experience easy, comfortable, and more fun than you thought possible. Unlike those clunky tennis-racket looking things, these Atlas snowshoes feature a V Frame design that makes your strides totally natural. You also get steel crampons to help you on steep terrain and plush, ergonomically designed bindings that eliminate all pressure points.

Bottom Line: Who said snowshoeing has to feel hard?

I was wondering if it hurts to use these snowshoes in extremely iced conditions. An example would be this year we've been having mild and cold weather on and off and this causes the trails to begin to melt and then re-freeze causing there to be uneven ice formation.

Hi Dianna,

That's not something that I've ever noticed while snowshoeing. The main things that I find different in icy conditions is that snowshoeing is louder than in powder, and that each step has to be more carefully placed on a slope so that I don't inadvertently slide...I think about where my crampons are and where my weight needs to be to make them work properly. I guess since the ground is harder when icy there's more impact when you step, so if that's an issue for you, then maybe you might get pain somewhere (I'm thinking of the difference between walking on grass vs. pavement, for example). In general though...nope, I don't think so.

Hope that helps!
Andrea

I just bought these and thought I was going to love them. am 5'6", 140 pounds with my boots and gear. I did not love the wrap binding, it didn't seem to wrap far enough around my boot and it did loosen up midway up the trail. This trip was mostly hardpacked snow, some powder. I did love the narrowness of the show so I wasn't stepping on my tails anymore. BUT, I didn't love how they threw snow all over my back-even on hard packed snow. Its a good thing I wasn't back country and could get back home to change clothes. I was soaked and freezing. I'll be taking them back ASAP.
