Elektra snowshoes are designed to match a woman's unique stride biomechanics and foot shape.

Floating tongue and indexed fit system offer the perfect fit; FlowTape(TM) silicone straps cinch the bindings effortlessly. Quick-release buckle pulls make getting out a snap. ReactiV(TM) 7075 aluminum, variable-geometry frames create a stiff, lightweight chassis for superb suspension response. Stainless-steel Holey-1 toe crampons with shovellike front prongs and sharp end points bite into the iciest slopes. Stainless-steel heel cleats and side traction rails increase traction while traversing and descending. Abrasion-resistant, lightweight Duratek(TM) decks withstand harsh, cold conditions. Heel lift bars relieve calf muscle fatigue while ascending steep slopes; bar stores flat when disengaged. Recommended load specification includes weight of hiker with gear.

Eastern Mountain Sports Description: Light, tough, and ideal for mountain hiking, the women's Elektra 1227 handles any terrain between the trail head and the summit. Wrapp Pro binding is supportive, dependable, and very comfortable. Stainless-steel toe crampon with side teeth boosts confidence on hard ice; heel traction provides superb downhill braking. ReactiV V-frame uses 7075 aluminum in both elliptical and cylindrical cross sections for an extremely light and strong frame. Spring-Loaded Suspension keeps tail from catching on obstacles and matches your foot's articulation. Turned-up tapered tail of the V-frame rolls easily into each step for a natural gait with less tail drag. Duratek decking is lightweight and features a pebble finish for greater abrasion resistance. Heel lift bar reduces calf fatigue on uphill slopes. The ultimate tool for long winter excursions, the Tubbs Journey is value-packed, comfortable, and easy to use.
