Simplicity + Quality = Good Stuff

These are good snowshoes (made in USA). Simple design, quality materials, light. The frame perform well on steep slopes and are versatile. You might have some concerns about the bindings that are somewhat archaic, but the are easy to use and i never had problems with, only make sure you have good boots (got the old version with only 2 front straps). The painting scales with use, but who care. Highly recommended. I'm 6" 155lbs and got 25".
