My partner is 6' 3" and about 200 lbs. Never been on snowshoes but athletic enough. I've seen men sink on snowshoes and it's pretty frustrating to watch - so don't want to get a pair too small. I doubt we'd be camping or carrying more than a small backpack. Do you recommend the 30" or 35" model? I'm thinking the 35's mostly because of his height, but not sure. Thanks.

I'm 6'3", 185lbs and use the 1030s in very powdery conditions in Northern Japan. Even with 30lbs of gear, the 30" models provide more than enough floatation. I've actually contemplated shorter snowshoes many times as the 30" shoes are a bit clumsy in some situations. I'd recommend the 30" models, or perhaps even 25" if you're sure you'll only be using a day pack.
