Atlas 10 Series Snowshoe
Good Snowshoes for the $$
By Eric McCammond
Ranked #11 - Snowshoes
November 28, 2008
I use these primarily for winter hiking in the Hakkoda Mountains of Northern Japan. The area is known for tons of powder all winter long. The bindings work great, even when packed with ice. They are also relatively easy to adjust/remove with thick gloves on. I'm often puzzled by the the "hiking" vs. "backcountry" snowshoes. Are they implying that the snow is somehow different on the frontside of the mountain than the backside? I'm sure more expensive snowshoes have nice features, but these seem to do everything a snowshoe should. I already use them to climb snowcapped volcanoes and wouldn't hesitate to walk into the backcountry with them.
