From Oregon Mountain Community:
"Exploration shouldn't stop when trails are blanketed with snow. The Elektra 10 Series is the snowshoe of choice for hikers who want to stay active in winter. Comfortable to walk on with its dedicated women's frame geometry, the Elektra 10 floats over soft snow and hikes confidently on firm slopes with Traverse Trac rails. Spring-Loaded Suspension moves freely with your foot's natural articulation. The padded Wrapp Plus binding adds an extra layer of warmth to the instep of the foot, and it is molded around a women's last for excellent arch support. The adjustable heel strap locks in place with SureClick buckles, so you can spend time enjoying the day instead of worrying about your gear. 08/09 colors, limited to stock on hand. Features:SPRING-LOADED™ SUSPENSION TEMPERED STEEL ALL-TRAC™ TOE CRAMPON WOMEN'S WRAPP™ PLUS BINDINGS TEMPERED STEEL TRAVERSE TRAC RAILS WOMEN'S 6061 ALUMINUM V-FRAME Sizing: Elektra 1023, 80-160lb; Elektra 1027, 120-200+lb"

From Backcountry.com:
"Atlas made the Women's E10 Series Elektra Snowshoe to make your winter hiking experience easy, comfortable, and more fun than you thought possible. Unlike those clunky tennis-racket looking things, these Atlas snowshoes feature a V Frame design that makes your strides totally natural. You also get steel crampons to help you on steep terrain and plush, ergonomically designed bindings that eliminate all pressure points."

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."

"I was really disappointed in these shoes unfortunately. . . The problem I encountered was that with every step I took, the shoes would fling snow down my back, down my neck and even over my head! By the time I finished my 1 hour trek my entire back was covered."

"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."
