The lightweight UniDeck plastic molded design gives you reliable flotation in all snow conditions; if the powder's deep just add the detachable tails for more flotation. The real features lurk underfoot in the hardware: full-length steel traction bars, front and rear crampons and a smartly designed braking system work together to give you more purchase on the slippery mediums found in wintertime.

Twelve of us close friends carried seventy pound packs in the hearty Chugach Mountain Range on beautiful Alaska with all the goodies; probes, chocolate, shovels, fuel, food. These showshoes worked well at stomping out perimeters, ascending and decending on low grade countouring walks, but when they hit the steep stuff our feet began sliding and slipping."
