I love these snowshoes! Lightweight with great traction! Will go through anything!
Pros
- Great traction
- Great fit
- Lightweight
- Great for climbing
Cons
- None
These snowshoes were a great buy! Got them on Amazon before Christmas when there were awesome sales going on. Paid $199; I think they retail for $279?
I'm very happy with them. Very durable with great fit and traction, will go through any winter terrain, and great for climbing in the snow.
