- They are good snowshoes with adequate crampon like points for walking on ice.
- The tails are great for walking in deep snow.
- The snowshoes don't drift as much sideways as the TSL snowshoes my friends have."

The plastic seems to make a bit of noise on hard snow, but everything else outweighs this minor concern."

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."
