Atlas 9 Series Snowshoe

Item #ATL0099 | 28 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Great with waterproof pants, terrible without

By Ranked #69 - Snowshoes December 16, 2008

As with all atlas snowshoes, the equation is simple. If you are wearing snow or rain pants that cover our boot, they are fantastic! If you are NOT wearing snow or rain pants that cover your boot, they are terrible. The suspension system that attaches the binding to the deck makes them easy to walk in and quite manouverable, but it kicks up a ton of snow on the back of your legs which will collect on/in your boots, making for a miserable experience unless you have the proper pants. Do not under estimate how irritating a constant barrage of snow to the back of your legs can be! To give you an idea of how much show these kick up, if you start running in them in some snow conditions, the snow will actually go over your head and land in front of you!
