From Campmor:
"Tall peaks demand top performance, and the Atlas 12 Series snowshoes are designed to handle anything you find between the trailhead and the summit. The Wrapp Pro bindings feature FlowTape Silicone straps that glide through low-friction buckles and an easy buckle release for true one-pull on, one-pull off use. The 7075 aluminum frame is the lightest, strongest tubing available, and the newly-patented variable ReactiV forming lends a stiffer, more responsive flex. Spring-Loaded Suspension provides deeper penetration of the Holey-1 Toe Crampon, and the Advanced Aft Traction provides sure footing on all terrain. This year, new standout graphics accompany the performance engineering that made the 12 Series Outside Magazine's top snowshoe and Gear of the Year in 2007."
From Backcountry.com:
"As the flagship of the Atlas line, the 12 Series Snowshoe handles the steepest, roughest, deepest and iciest terrain that snowshoers get into. These snowshoes feature top-notch materials like a burly, lightweight ReactiV 7075 aluminum frame, Duratek deck fabric which sheds snow like crazy, and stainless steel crampons to handle icy conditions with ease. Of course, they also feature Atlas' V Frame design, which lets you walk naturally."
From Altrec Outdoors:
"With a lighter and more responsive profile, the Atlas Men's 12 Series 1225 Snowshoe is an ideal floatation platform for extended hikes, winter backpacking and backcountry skiing and snowboarding. Atlas uses a geometry in a ReactiV 7075 aluminum frame for a stiffer, more responsive chassis. The 7075 aluminum material remains the lightest that Atlas has ever used on a snowshoe, but by pairing this design with new components, this season's 1225 snowshoe is almost a half pound lighter, and more energy saved on the trail is more energy you'll have to enjoy at the campsite or back at the mountain yurt. The 1225 also features a new Wrapp Pro binding that's specifically molded with foam padding in a left foot and right foot configuration. This creates a closer, more natural fit that's a few degrees warmer than bindings that are interchangeable between left and right feet. Beneath the Duratek deck you'll find a new Holey-1 toe crampon and stainless steel parallel traction rails for hold. Another nice feature is the waterproof webbing with positive-locking, low-friction roller buckles for enhanced security. The 1225 is a great design for climbing, mountaineering, backpacking and winter trekking. If you're a snowboarder or skier seeking a high floatation snowshoe with an easy-packing configuration."

I am old school (ash frames and animal webbing) but these shoes beat anything I have ever owned including Tubbs! Just wish they were not made in China, BUT they are well made in China, so that is a plus!.

Took these on a 10 hr hike up some steep inclines and liked the grip and the lifts helped a lot for calf fatigue."

We bought four pairs (we were four of us. . . , no redundancy needed) and stomped through Norway's fine powdery snow in Rondane National Park for a week last winter. Never let us down, even with 45lb. backpacks as additional weight on our backs."

The bindings are extremely easy to use, even with mittens and inserts. They stay tight, without slipping. The decking has taken extreme abuse on rocks and ice and has nicks here and there."
