From Backcountry.com:
"If you're eager to start breaking trail without breaking your budget, the Tubbs Men's Venture Series Snowshoe is a great bridge into true wilderness snowshoeing. Strap down the asymmetrical ReAct binding for custom foot-specific fit and the all-day comfort you'll need on longer hikes. Lightweight aluminum toe crampons bite into hardpack and icy crust for a secure step in variable conditions, while the Venture's TriTec decking and lightweight 6000-series aluminum frame keep you afloat in deep snow without weighing you down. A rotating toe cord lets you dump accumulated snow off of the Venture with every step, and Tubbs' innovative Fit-Step design uses biomechanics to reduce fatigue on long treks. On the way back down, you'll feel confident as the rear claw crampons grip the snow under your heels."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"For the spirited day hiker who wants superior snowshoeing technology without breaking the bank, there's the Tubbs Venture Snowshoes. Loaded with great features including the proprietary Fit-Step frame, and the RII Revolution Response pivot system, the Venture has raised the bar for spirited day hikers. Whether you're logging miles through the snow-covered trees to stay fit, or enjoying a stroll with family, the ergonomically designed Fit-Step frame makes your adventure more comfortable by reducing muscular skeletal impact by 10%. The gender specific ReAct binding features a molded, asymmetric base with patented Control Wings for directional stability."

From EMS:
"Value-packed, lightweight, and easy to use, the Venture 25 snowshoes are perfect for winter day hiking and exploration. Tubbs' Fit-Step frame and responsive RII pivot system promote a smoother, easier stride, and natural foot position in all conditions. Left/right dual-pull ReAct binding with Control Wings is fast and easy with a secure, comfortable fit for stability and control. 6000 series aluminum frame is lightweight and durable; durable SoftTec decking provides lightweight flotation and sheds snow. Innovative Fit-Step frame shape has a slightly upturned round tail to reduce muscle fatigue and promote a natural stride. Carbon steel Talon toe crampon provides constant contact on all types of terrain and engages the slope more quickly. Carbon steel heel crampon centered under the boot optimizes grip on descent and sidehill traverses. RII Response pivot system maintains natural foot position with shock-absorbing lateral flex and quick side-slope responsiveness. Rotating toe cord allows the tail of the snowshoe to drop, shedding snow and allowing the toe crampon to bite deeply."

"Rented them for the day at Crystal Mtn. in WA. They are light weight, and I didn't trip over them, as I trekked up the hill and made over a couple of switch back trails, which brought me to the top of the ski lift near some homes.

I loved being out in the wilderness alone with God in such beautiful country."

"Wow, what an excellent snowshoe for both beginners and for those of you who have been snowshoeing for years. I just bought a pair for my wife who has very little experience with snowshoes and she absolutely loves them.

So I bought a pair for myself and I can't believe how lightweight great they feel. Definitely worth it for the money. 5 Stars!"

"Just bought it today. Live in Denver, we got about 30 inches wanted to walk around our neighborhood. 20 minutes into the walk they broke. The steel or aluminum rings that hold the shoe around the frame broke off. Don't think they are steel, which is the problem."
