In ice and hard crust, these snowshoes deliver with double claw aluminum crampons that provide outstanding traction up and down hills. And toe rod pivots and binding springs back help minimize toe-hooking and keeps snow from flying up in your face. The tapered frame allows for better maneuverability and the narrow tail reduces your chance of cross-stepping. All of this comes with two telescoping, three-section aluminum snowshoe poles for extra balance and added power on uneven ground. The maximum weight limit for these snowshoes is 275 pounds.
