Review by: sixleggedinsect, 2004-11-28
I've battle-tested these snowshoes in the New England Presidentials, walked miles of rocks and ice in them, stomped up hills and down again, deep powder, windswept ice, alpine fir traps, the works. I love them. They are cheap, light, and robust. I've had other snowshoes, and sold 'em. The plastic is gouged and rough on the underside, the crampon points are dull, but these bad-a** snowshoes keep at it. I have the version from a couple years ago. as far as i can tell they are identical except for a spicier-looking traction rail on the underside of the new model. my only problem is the heel lifter is a little weak. after using it for a while, the metal bar has started to deform the plastic which holds it in place- probably has a limited life span if i keep hammering on it. but who cares, they may have fixed it in the new version, and it isnt that great anyway. solid all around snowshoe. woudlnt use anything else now.
