High performing snowshoes that meets all the marks.
A simple lightweight design that results in a well performing snow shoe. The binding is an upgrade from other designs making for fast install and removal. The design also has secure connections so the shoe maintains alignment when walking. Overall, these make it a pleasure to use as you forget they are on and focus more on the task at hand. These are used for backcountry traversing and pulling gear laden polk sleds so they get a workout.

Good but disappointing for the money
Traction and grip in various surfaces is great. Light weight and narrow profile makes trekking great both uphill and downhill. Not a 5 rating because the heel strap came undone on more than three occasions whenever my boot twists in the snow shoe.

Finally! Narrower snowshoes!
Best snowshoes ever. Lots of bite to dig into the iciest snow and does well in deep snow too, especially with the extra tail, which I recommend getting. I bought these because they were not as wide as others and this has hugely helped with my ability to walk in snow without having to walk bow legged. It also helps that they are shorter than others for my weight, so I can wear them short on packed snow and put the tail on for powder. I hope they eventually make an even skinnier version and maybe a tad longer. Then it would be the perfect snow shoe for everyone.

Great for PNW winter snowshoeing
Fantastic on the trails whether steep or rolling hills. I replaced old MSRs with these and the narrower width makes snow shoeing much easier. Straps are easy to use.

Climbing snowshoes
Great snow shoe for bushwhacking or steep, snow covered trails. I prefer smaller than manufacture’s suggested size. Much easier to bushwhack with a smaller shoe

These are the only snowshoes you’ll ever want to own forever. I replaced a pair of plastic ones with these. They are lightweight and very durable.

Best women's snowshoe on the market
I love these snowshoes for their ease of use and for the excellent traction they provide! Easy on and off with less straps to worry about. I use them on all my winter trails and steep mountain ascents when crampons are not needed. Living in Utah they let me spend more time outdoors, and trails are now possible year round.

Rugged and trustworthy snowshoes
Hike in deep snow in Alaska with these tough and trustworthy snowshoes. They felt great and got me through rugged terrain just fine.
