Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"When you're snowshoeing up and down steep trails, a heel-lift bar and bomber side and heel cleats are invaluable leg-saving features. The Atlas 10+ Series Snowshoes have both, plus a Spring-Loaded Suspension System that allows your feet to move naturally on climbs and icy descents. With the heel bar up, your calves get less fatigued. The left- and right-specific bindings create a secure fit, and the 10+ Series Snowshoes' stainless steel heel, side cleats, and toe crampon provide traction. That way, you won't end up inadvertently doing a painful version of the splits when the trail gets slippery."

From CampSaver.com:
"New for 2007, the Atlas 10+ series snowshoe bridges top-end performance with greater value.Built on the proven technology and value of the Atlas 6061 aluminum V-frame, durable stainless steel All-Trac toe crampon and flexible Nytex decking, the 10+ has the added security of our Advanced Aft Traction and a climbing bar.The specially molded left and right Wrapp Plus bindings have supportive arches that cradle the inside of your feet, and the urethane heel strap adjusts easily with the SureClick buckle.For avid hikers wanting to go beyond that next mountain ridge, the 10+ opens up a wider variety of terrain."

From EMS:
"The 1025+ Atlas Snowshoes are built for the athlete who heads into mountainous terrain. Advanced aft traction and a heel lift bar give you tools that you will appreciate in rougher conditions. Spring-Loaded Suspension (SLS) allows natural articulation of the foot and deeper crampon penetration for excellent comfort and control. Wrapp Plus binding has one-pull design that cradles your foot for a quick, secure fit. Specifically molded right and left bindings have supportive arches and are padded for comfort and warmth. Proprietary V-shaped 6061 aluminum frame is durable and flexes as part of the SLS system. All-Trac stainless steel toe crampon delivers sure-footed traction. Stainless steel heel cleat as well as parallel side rails for secure traversing. Heel lift bar relieves calf muscle fatigue while ascending steep slopes. Nytex decking is durable and flexible when cold."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"New for 2007, the Atlas Men's 1025 Plus 10 Series Snowshoe is designed to bridge top-end performance with greater value. Determined to leave the rolling valley and head for the mountain, this shoe takes it up a notch with a climbing heel lift bar to relieve calf fatigue on a steeper slope, and advanced multi-traction heel claw, so you can reach the summit shoulder in confidence. The lightweight and durable 6061 aluminum V-frame is tapered toward the heel so you don't get tangled up or have to duck walk, and features an easy one pull cinch Wrapp binding. This harness system is molded around a men's boot shape with a specific asymmetric left/right fit and supportive arch, to maximum comfort and performance. A Spring-Loaded Suspension flexes to optimize foot security, and is enhanced with the stainless steel All-Trac Toe Crampon to maintain security on firm snow in more difficult terrain. Designed for 200 lbs. or less, this shoe gets you to the whole mountain and the ridge beyond."

"I have a pair of 1030s that I bought in Utah for light powder and heavy gear loads. They performed admirably flotation-wise in the `greatest snow on earth` for skiers - that is to say, very light, non-compact substrate. The crampons are sufficiently aggressive, and the weight distribution on them is very even."

"Excellent for the first snowshoe I've ever owned or used. I took it on a 5 mile hike on the Link Trail in Central New York (part of the North Country Trail). Had some good climbs and descents. The shoes never need adjusting and I like the way they handled when I was breaking trail."
