From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Atlas 8 Series 30 inch Snowshoe (Fall 2008) The 8 Series by Atlas offers Atlas performance mainstays like Spring-Loaded Suspension and Elektra women's design at our best value. Both 8 Series snowshoes use the new no-fuss, no-hassle Strapp binding, with excellent arch support, gender-specific lasts, and Uniloop pull, all in a minimalist form. Deeper crampon penetration and the security of tempered steel heel cleats ensure confident steps. Forgiving Nytex decking and our proven aluminum V-frames offer superior durability no matter the conditions. Because the biomechanical differences between a man's stride and a woman's are just as important for beginners as they are for experts, the new Elektra 8 Series features our proprietary Elektra frame designed for a woman's narrower stance.Features:Spring-Loaded SuspensionStrapp Binding6063 Aluminum V-FrameElektra V-FrameTempered Steel Bi-Trac Toe CramponTempered Steel Heel CleatNytex DeckingSpecifications:Surface Area: 222 sq inWeight: 3.94 lbsLoad: 150-250+ lbs"

From Backcountry.com:
"If you want to get out and experience the winter trails, the Atlas 8 Series Snowshoe makes an excellent choice thanks to its easy-to-use design and durable construction. The V Frame construction lets you walk naturally, and stainless steel crampons help you cross slopes even whey they're icy. Atlas uses 7075 aluminum to make the frame tough enough to handle anything from rocks to roots when you have to get out in thin snow conditions. You also get a Nytex deck fabric that sheds snow when you get in too deep."
From Altrec Outdoors:
"New this year, the AtlasWomen's 8 Series 823 Elektra Snowshoe offers performance mainstays like Spring-Loaded Suspension and Elektra women's narrow V frame design at a value. This snowshoe uses the new no-fuss, no-hassle Strapp binding, with excellent arch support, gender-specific lasts, and Uniloop pull. A durable Tempered Steel Bi-Trac Toe Crampon and Tempered Steel Heel Cleat provide deeper crampon penetration for security with each step. Because the biomechanical differences between a man's and a woman's stride are just as important for beginners as they are for experts, the new Elektra 8 Series features Atlas's proprietary Elektra frame designed for a woman's narrower stance. Hit the trails with subtly designed, lightweight, yet aggressive 8 Series Snowshoes from Atlas that quietly cushion each footfall with flexible Nytex decking and Spring-Loaded Suspension. As you hike, you end up with less drag thanks to the suspension while you get plenty of non-twisting traction from the Twin-trac toe crampon and tempered steel Tri-Cleat at the heel."

At times they were used on somewhat icy snow-covered roads that may have worn the screws."

My only real complaint is that I found that my foot seems to gradually slide back in the binding, particularly when going uphill."
