Product Descriptions

REI Description: Stride confidently in the women's Atlas Elektra 1023 snowshoes-gender-specific articulation, aggressive traction and fatique-reducing features make these a great choice for day hiking. Women-specific, V-shaped frames are made from sturdy 6061 aluminum and are designed to facilitate a woman's natural stride. Nose and tail shapes are optimized to provide a balanced platform for stable footing and to facilitate an easy, natural stride. Spring-Loaded(TM) Suspension (SLS) uses offset webbing straps to create a springy platform beneath your feet that absorbs impact and allows natural side-to-side foot flex. Heel-lift bar provides relief for tired calf muscles on steep ascents while matching slope angle for better traction. Wrapp(TM) Swift bindings cradle your feet with easy-to-cinch straps, warm EVA padding and a technical, comfortable fit. Abrasion-resistant, lightweight Nytex(TM) nylon decks stay flexible when cold and stand up to the elements for lasting use. Steel instep crampons supply sure-footed traction on icy and snowy terrain; heel crampons provide superior downhill traction and parallel side crampons grip during traverses. Atlas Elektra 1023 snowshoes' recommended load specification includes weight of hiker with gear.

Eastern Mountain Sports Description: Discover winter in the mountains with the Atlas 10 Series Snowshoes, now with a heel lift bar to relieve strain on the uphill. Spring-Loaded Suspension keeps the snowshoe close underfoot for easy maneuvering and suspends your foot so it can move freely with its intended articulation. Suspension absorbs impact and lets your foot flex naturally side-to-side for a comfortable, stable position on traverses and uneven terrain. Suspension enhances traction control, too, as the flex provides deeper crampon penetration into the slope, especially on steep or off-angle terrain. On steep climbs, the heel lift bar reduces calf fatigue while allowing the heel crampon to remain active. Aluminum V-frame produces an efficient, natural stride. V-shape tracks straight in deep snow. Tapered tail pulls less snow as you step forward, saving your energy. Flexible Nytex decking is forgiving and quiet when hiking in the cold, providing durability without the weight. New Wrapp Swift binding blends comfort with ease of use provided by a positive toe locater and EVA padding. SureClick urethane buckle snaps positively and holds your heel securely. Stainless steel All-Trac toe crampon provides traction in all directions. Tempered steel Traverse Trac rail crampons.
