From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Atlas Elektra 8 Series 27 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: 176 sq inWeight: 3.32 lbsLoad: 120-200+ lbs"

From Altrec Outdoors:
"The biomechanical differences between a man's stride and a woman's are just as important for beginners as they are for experts. The women's Atlas 827 Elektra 8 Series Snowshoe provides excellent value without compromising on performance. The light, durable 6061 aluminum V-frame uses a proprietary shape designed that matches a woman's narrower stance. The easy-to-use Wrapp binding is molded around a supportive women's foot shape to enhance a precise fit. In keeping with Atlas' technology tenets, the Elektra 8 snowshoe gets its excellent maneuverability and enhanced traction from the Spring-Loaded Suspension and stainless steel toe crampons and heel cleats. Float through the wide world of winter with women's specific performance foot tools by Atlas Snowshoes."

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