      Comments about Atlas 1030 Snowshoes:

      This is the 4th pair of snowshoes (but 1st pair of Atlas) I've owned and they are quite good in every way. They've been to the top of Mt Hood and all over the Sierra Nevada without a failure. Nice sturdy crampons that don't clump ice/snow.

        Comments about Atlas 1030 Snowshoes:

        I'm old enough I've evolved from my first pair of wood-and-leather snowshoes 45 years ago, to my first pair of Sherpa aluminum shoes in 1980, and now these.

        I'm 6' and 180 lbs. Though the Atlas charts suggest the 1030 for my weight, I eventually purchased another, longer pair: 1035. The trade off with the longer shoes is less agility and turning radius.

        The 1030s are ideal for narrow trails, light packs, and compact snow, whereas the 1035s are better suited for heavy packs, powder snow, and open spaces.

        Either way, these are a super product. I've subjected each pair to over 100 hours use and everything is still tight and intact (no loose rivets, bindings, or joints). Moreover, I haven't hesitated scrambling over all manner of trail conditions to get where I want. The claw is stainless steel, so it holds up to the occasional abrasive rock or scree hidden under the snow.

        Best of all, they hold me fast on some relatively steep, icy pitches with a full load on my back. My old Sherpas tended to collect snow in the claw,but this design seems to shed even the moistest snow out of the claw.

        The learning curve for use is minimal, but I'd suggest a pair of trekking poles as a required compliment.

            Comments about Atlas 1030 Snowshoes:

            If you are going to buy snowshoes spend your money on a pair of MSR Denalis or Lighntings. Tube snowshoes offer little to no traction and are guaranteed to break down on the trail. I have had 2 pairs of Atlas break down on me and a pair of Tubbs. Once I tried MSRs I never looked back.

              Comments about Atlas 1030 Snowshoes:

              I purchased extra snowshoes so friends and family members could go out exploring with me. They use to rent snowshoes until they tried the Atlas 1030 and 1025 series. Now, they have their own, or enjoy using a pair of mine! These snowshoes are great on any terrain! I love having the freedom to explore all types of areas without having to worry about comfort or performance.

              Comments about Atlas 1030 Snowshoes:

              Bought these shoes a few years ago even though they were more expensive than many other brands and i'm so glad I did. They are lightweight when carrying them and attach fast and easy in the snow and cold. They are light on your feet when walking for miles and keep you floating on the snow nicely. The cleats are durable and provide great traction on icy snow. The only thing I don't like about them are the poor color choices. Just because i'm way back in the forest, off trail, etc. doesn't mean that I still don't want to look good.
