Tubbs Couloir Series Snowshoe - Men's - 2007 BCS

Sturdy construction and light weight. The key selling feature is the crampons, they dig in and dont let go, and this was my primary reason for purchase of this shoe. I wanted to be able to climb any obstacle I encounter, and I have been able to do so. Trees, rocks, steep hills covered in waist deep snow have all fallen victim to my mighty couloirs! The few times that I have slipped, I can honestly say that I was probably pushing the limits of ANY snowshoe. Only small complaint is that the 2010 version is now powder coated carbon steel and not stainless, but they have been holding up along with the strong decking and smooth hinge style suspension. The heel lift is a nice feature, but we havent got alot of mountains in WI so its been mostly unused by myself. The binding is very simple to use and incredibly secure, when compared to lower end models its... well you cant compare it. Again, tiny gripe. I have small feet (US 8.5) so there is alot of extra strap, the holders made for the spare strap dont secure it very well, but I find its easy enough to just stash it inside of my gaiter. Pretty minor, and likely not a concern for those of you with bigger feet.
These snowshoes were worth every penny and have endured a ridiculous amount of abuse and mileage from me this past month. If you are looking to just trudge along lightly packed trails, they may be a little overkill and you would probably be better off with a lower end shoe. But if you want to go explore the woods and backcountry where most would fear to tread, then hitch up your skirt and put on your couloirs!

These are awesome snowshoes. Very easy to put on. Bindings are simple to use. First time snowshoeing and having a great time. Would highly recommend them.

My first pair of snowshoes but they are great! Light weight super easy to get on and off while I watch everybody else struggle to get their shoes off and on for creek crossings etc. I'm already back in and tearing up the hill. I strongly reccomend

Well I don't know how much this review will help because I don't do a lot of snowshoeing. I thought these were easy to use and did the job we needed them to do. No technical hiking on steep stuff just a nice walk through the hills.

I just bought a set of these and I love em'! Im a good size guy (6'2, 240 lbs) and its a pain finding good snow shoes but these fit the bill perfectly. Tested them out at the local golf course and they preformed really well, lots of float and I really like the binding, super easy to get in and out of and stays very snug. Can't wait to hit the trail in them this weekend!

These snowshoes are great and to the guys that said these don't fit snowboard boots you are nuts. Please don't review unless you actually have tried theses shoes with snowboard boots. I have size 13 boots which are really wide also. My friend just bought a pair of these and I was reluctant to buy these because of your review about them. My boot fit perfectly into the binding with plenty of room for an even bigger boot. These snowshoes are awesome and tear through the snow!!!!!!!!!!

This was my first winter snowshoeing. I used these snowshoes multiple times this winter and they were awesome! The bindings are easy to use and held my feet tight. I put miles on these shoes this winter and they never let me down!

These provide amazing float in any condition and there active fit system is out of this world, super easy to use and holds on snugg. They also have a great climbing bar that provides ton's lift when you need it.

I was originally looking to buy a Tubbs Wilderness series snowshoe, but due to the incredible demand for snowshoes at this time (late winter 2009) everyone was sold out. I decided to upgrade and purchase the Tubbs Coloir Snowshoe.

We live in Western Colorado and have used my Tubbs Coloir Snowshoes several times on The Grand Mesa at 10,000 ft elevation.

They have worked great, they did not flip snow on my back, they are light and easy to move with, grip very well in crusty snow, are comfortable on side hill traverses, and the bindings are extremely easy to use and are very secure.

I would not hesitate to recommend these or any Tubbs Snowshoe to anyone.
