Love the bindings, but not super durable

I had a pair of these snowshoes for less than a year. I bought them near the end of last winter and took them out a few times. The last trip of the year resulted in the loss of the rivets that hold the binding to the snowshoe on the inside of each snowshoe. Atlas gladly replaced them with a beefier rivet. After my fourth time out this season, I lost both rivets on one snowshoe. The snowshoes were returned with remorse. I really like the ease of use and stability of the binding. The comfort was fair, but after a long day of snowshoeing the backs of my heels were very tender. The crampons are adequate for most terrain and the flotation is what you would expect. If I wasn't the type to run downhill and jump off cliffs I think that the durability of these snowshoes would have been fine. If you tend to work your snowshoes pretty hard I would consider a different pair.
