Atlas Women's 9 Series

Great quality basic snowshoe for non-mountaineering use. Comfortable stride and good grip, excellent bindings.

After going through three other pairs of snowshoes that failed in the field (snapped frame, broken cleats, broken straps...) I finally ended up with these. They have stood the test of time over a few years on numerous trips, are the most comfortable ones I've had, have excellent and simple to use bindings, and look cool (to me).  

The suspension system is really good and the toe lift is just right for a natural step. I usually forget that I have them on. They're not made for heavy climbing, though I've climbed fairly steep slopes with them no problem. Good float and grip.  

The black finish on the frame has worn quite a bit, which is just cosmetic but still a bit disappointing. They can be had for a great price and come as a kit with poles and a carry bag which is a good grab.
