Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"Atlas designed the Women's E10 Series Elektra Snowshoe for a gal's stride. These snowshoes provide floatation, traction, comfort, and natural foot articulation. The ergonomic bindings support your arch, cradle your foot, and are amazingly easy to get in and out of. Strategically integrated padding insulates your foot and increases your blood flow, keeping you warm and comfortable. Atlas' patented Spring-Loaded Suspension maintains your natural ankle articulation and eliminates heel rotation so you use less energy and maintain a stable, secure stride over difficult terrain. Stainless-steel All-Trac toe and heel crampons and Traverse Trac side rails offer reliable traction over varied terrain."

From CampSaver.com:
"Exploration shouldnt stop while trails lie dormant under snowy depths.The Atlas Elektra 10 Series is the snowshoe of choice for hikers who want to stay active in winter.Comfortable to walk on with its dedicated, womens-specific frame geometry, the Elektra 10 floats over soft snow and hikes confidently on firm slopes with Traverse Trac rails."

From Oregon Mountain Community:
"The Atlas Elektra 1027 snowshoes are specifically biomechanically engineered for women to provide the most natural stride possible. Spring-Loaded™ Suspension allows natural articulation of the foot for unmatched control and comfort. The Wrapp™ Plus binding is specifically molded right and left and have supportive arches that cradle the inside of you feet for a comfortable and secure fit. The bindings are form padded for increased comfort and warmth. 6061 aluminum V frame is proven and durable, and the stiff proprietary V shape provides a smooth-feeling suspension. Stainless steel Holey-1 toe crampon 3D-formed design allows a lighter weight and structural strength. Shovel-like prongs provide increased grip and hold, and sharp end-points provide bite on the iciest of slopes. Stainless steel Aft traction parallel traction rails under the sides of your feet — where you get the most control — provide increased traction while traversing. Nytex decking is durable and flexible when cold.Atlas Elektra Specifications: Length: 27"Surface Area: 176 sq/inWeight (pair): 3.85lbsLoad (in pounds): 120-200"

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Created specifically to match a women's stride, this Women's 1023 Elektra 10 Series snowshoe is a great all-terrain design made for a wide range of abilities. The award-winning Atlas 10 Series is a big step apart for recreational snowshoes developed for hardpack trails, but doesn't strap you into the expensive high-end mountaineering features found on the Atlas 12 and 13 series snowshoe designs. This particular 1023 Snowshoe has the most compact length in the Women's Elektra 10 Series, featuring 145 square inches of surface area and enough floatation to support loads between 80 to 160 lbs. (that's fully loaded with your jacket, boots and pack on). Unlike the snowshoes made for guys, the Atlas Elektra Series offers a narrower tail and nose to match a women's gait. When you consider the 80-lb. load range, it's easy to understand why this versatile design is a superb choice for outdoor enthusiasts who want to hike, trek and climb on the same reliable pair of snowshoes throughout the season. The Elektra 1023 snowshoe features Atlas' patented Spring-Loaded Suspension (ideal for true forward and side hill articulation) with a new Wrapp Plus Binding that features molded left and right arches for a better fit. Atlas also added foam padding along the binding surface for enhanced warmth and extra comfort on long routes. Atlas kept the same 10 Series V frame as previous years and used a new 6061 aluminum material, but beneath it all you'll find a new Holey-1 toe crampon and stainless steel Traverse Trac rails with heel cleats for extra hold. The decking is also a new nylon reinforced material that stays durable but flexible in extreme cold. If you only want to buy one snowshoe for all your days of backyard and backcountry exploring, the Elektra 1023 is an ideal choice. If you need a little bit more floatation for hiking up and around towering cornices in remote spaces (like Greenland or Silverton when the roads are closed for the winter), the Atlas women's Elektra 12 Series snowshoes might be what you need to float above the deepest snow."

"After many years of poor snow conditions for cross country skiing in our area, three years ago I bought two pairs of these snowshoes - the 1025 for me and the 1030 for my husband. They rank as one of the best purchases I've ever made. We have used these snowshoes many times each winter."
