Comments about Paris Company Expedition Sled:

I have two young kids (7 and 5) and wanted a "safety net" so we could go snowshoeing together without worrying about the kids running out of energy far from the trailhead. So far it has worked well for that on a couple day's use. The sled pulls fine even with 125 pounds of kids aboard. Having kids though the biggest use became downhill fun. Let me tell you these sleds track straight! Meaning weight-shift steering doesn't work. Still, they are very tough and have plenty of room for a parent and child to slide together, then let me pull the two tired kids back to the car at day's end. I bought two and pull them nested together, then separate for snow play.Bottom line- there are probably slightly better [$] gear sleds but for 1/10 the price this one can't be beat.JimCA

Service and delivery comments:

REI is the place to get this sled. Living in the sunbelt I would have to pay $50 shipping to get this sled from the other retailers I found.

Comments about Paris Company Expedition Sled:

Me and my buddy each got one of these for a casual snowshoe trip. We ran rope around the outside, put spacer pvc pipes over the ropes, and used jury-rigged harnesses to tow them. We went through some tight twists, lots of steep ups and downs, and finally had to outrun a lightning storm. They did everything we asked of them, and for a lot cheaper than a specifically "snowshoeing" designed sled. They rolled over a couple of times crossing steep slopes, but it was more due to our hurried packing than to any design flaw. This is one tough sled for a great price.

- far cheaper
- smaller so easier to take an airplane
- fragil but for the price : excellent

what it takes to wreck one

Best Uses

Comments about Paris Company Expedition Sled:

I've had a few of these sleds. I mainly use them to drag bucked tree sections out of the woods on my property. Since this is late spring and summer work, it means I'm dragging them over roots and rocks. They develop lengthwise splits, but still work. Used exclusively on snow, one of these sleds would probably outlast the purchaser.

Oh yeah. They work great for ski touring. Get a couple of six-foot lengths of PVC and run your attachment cords through them. Then clip the free ends to your hipbelt. This'll keep the sled from running you down during descents. Sort of.

Comments about Paris Company Expedition Sled:

Tested this trough storms and harsh weather conditions and I must say I'm delighted to own one of these.
With some modifications you have a great pulk for a low low price!
It is so ingeniously simple, there is nothing to break here and it can handle everything from rocks to powder.

Comments about Paris Company Expedition Sled:

I have used this product for multiple winter back country trips in the Canadian shield. Every time I have been the envy of my other companions who used inferior designs. The only thing this sled doesn't do well - and I don't think it was really designed to anyway - is pull well when I am off-trail bushwacking. You will definitely want to make some slight modifications, but the Paris company makes it pretty clear where to put them.

Comments about Paris Company Expedition Sled:

Like everybody else who has posted, I use and like this sled for winter camping. One thing I've noticed is that it works well with other packing gear. It's about 12" wide where the side walls meet the floor, and this is just the right width to fit many of the small hard boxes, coolers, and water jugs on the market. I particularly like the way this sled accomodates the smaller Rubbermaid Action Packer hard boxes that we use for kitchen and food boxes on family and Boy Scout trips. This makes packing, using, and most importantly, FINDING gear for large groups very easy. Cooking breakfast for a group of 14 when the wind chill is dipping below zero is interesting enough without adding a search for the missing box of oatmeal, extra fuel bottle, or wayward jar of coffee.

One additional nice feature of the sled is that its length and width make it useful for a windscreen, table, or giant tray when cooking.

I would like Paris to make one change. The holes punched for the tow rope had fairly sharp edges and I rounded them with a drill before threading the pull rope along the sides. Since Paris already puts metal grommets on the front two holes it seems like this is a small change and I'd gladly pay a few extra dollars to this modification.

Comments about Paris Company Expedition Sled:

I'd previously built a pulka from online plans using a cheap recreational sled, pvc pipe, rope, and eye-bolts. It works, but it tips a lot. A new pulka using this baby rocks, especially using wire cable instead of rope for hauling. You can use this off the shelf with just a rope, but serious hauling will require adding eye-bolts or something similar for lashing.
