Snowshoeing newbie needs some gear. 160+daypack = 175 lbs. or thereabouts. 6'-1". Looking to climb mountinains in NY state - Catskills, Hudson highlands, Adirondacks. Typical northeast conditions of slush, ice, semi-deep powder. Debating between evo ascents (rented, enjoyed) and lightning ascents. If lightning ascents, 22" or 25". Thoughts?

Hey man, I started snowshoeing in the Adirondack High Peaks & around Central NY, where I live, last year. I purchased the Atlas 12 Series 25's and am more than pleased. I did a few peaks last winter & can't think of one reason not to recommend them to anyone. Good luck!
