From Backcountry Outlet:
"Take along a piece of history when wearing the Traditional Bear Paw Snowshoes from Tubbs. The time-honored design and construction of the Bear Paw bring us all back to an era of mountain men and adventurous explorers. Proven materials take a low-tech approach to winter wandering and appeal to the Luddite who is certain that newer isn't better. The modern convenience of Tubbs' TD91 binding let you get the most of this atavistic design."
