L.L.Bean Snowshoe Bag

An excellent way to keep snowshoe crampons away from other gear and clothing.

You can buy a smaller pair of snowshoes for better maneuverability and attach the tails when you need better flotation or are carrying a heavier load. They attach very securely and use your own weight to stay attached. Full review
