"The Atlas Elektra 825 Women’s snowshoes are an excellent choice for women who are interested in easy to moderate snowshoeing on groomed or well packed trails.

Out of the box these snowshoes felt heavier than I was expecting but I quickly forgot all about that."

"I experienced the same problem with the binding. On a recent six-mile trek, I stopped almost every 15-20 minutes to re-strap my right foot into the snowshoe. I will be returning these and buying a different pair with a secure binding system. I gave it two stars because they are a good snowshoe...they just don't stay on when they are supposed to."
