This snowshoe rivals all others for ease of use and durability. The ultra bindings hold tight and adjust easily with even the thickest of mitts. I use these shoes both to approach climbs and for general leisure hiking in Northern Ontario and Northern Minnesota. I generally carry a pack and the Alpine series gives me plenty of floatation in deep snow. Underbrush is not a problem due to the narrow profile. I can maintain a natural stride and in a pinch can run.

The Redfeather Story Redfeather Snowshoes was founded in 1988 by a snow-bound triathlete with the idea of designing a better snowshoe that would allow racers to train during the snowy Colorado winter months. His original design became the legendary Redfeather Redtail, the lightweight aluminum V-tail snowshoe that transformed snowshoeing from an awkward mode of transportation into the modern sport that we all know today. Located in La Crosse, Wisconsin, Redfeather continues to strive for technical innovation, performance, and unsurpassed quality in all of its snowshoes.
