5 Star Rating

crazy traction

By Backcountry.com Employee January 14, 2008

I got these snowshoes and went out hiking with a friend of mine, who was wearing some tube-frame snowshoes. He was slip-sliding backwards and sideways and all over the place, while I was just breezing right along. The blade-like frame on these is really incredible. Plus, they are really lightweight.
