From Campmor:
"Snowshoeing is a great way to escape, push your physical limits, and gain access to places inaccessible in winter. With Tubbs new Couloir Series, your day belongs to you, not the terrain or Mother Nature. Tried and tested, the new Momentum Lite 6000 frame is the result of biomechanical research coupled with an understanding of snow moisture content. Bottom line is a unique design that lets you set your course with ease and efficiency. The RII system delivers all terrain responsiveness with get up and go performance. Energy efficient in deep powder, RII reacts instantly to pitch and slope, eliminating ankle fatigue while crampons engage fully for efficient ascents and descents. Compact, stainless steel Talon toe crampon grips securely and combines with the new Python heel crampon for aggressive traction. Add in the patented ActiveFit binding and new ActiveLift heel lift, and you'll quickly discover why this new Series leaves the competition in our tracks. Momentum Lite frame: Durable, light weight 6000 Series frame with 'flat' nose rise to maximize flotation per sq. in. and ease of use. Tapered tail for medial clearance and stability in steep pitches, powder and wind-packed terrain. Propriertary ArcTec Plus decking is puncture resistant to -40deg. F. Revolution Response II: Energy efficient and effective, RII delivers shock absorbing lateral flex and side slope responsiveness for a natural foot position in all conditions. Full step rotation allows the tail of the snowshoe to drop and the toe crampon to bite deeply. RII limits over rotation in steep pitches yet sheds snow off the tail to reduce discomfort and fatigue. ActiveFit Binding System with ActiveLift Heel Lift: "3D Fit" combination of control, support, and ease of use to custom fit any men's hiking or climbing boot to size 13. Stable base, with patented Control Wing design, centers the heel while dual pivot points at the toe deliver personalized fit.
