I've had and used snowshoes all my life... this set proved themselves through one of the snowiest winters recorded in Wyoming, this year... extremely well constructed, as lightweight as one can hope for, durable and reliable... I will never be without a pair... Tongue River Valley, WYO...

Best Snowshoes durable with excellent grip
2 years ago
Well constructed durable metal frame but not heavy. There are teeth around the perimeter of the frame as well as across the middle giving great stability especially when going uphill and downhill. Highly recommend these snowshoes hope you enjoy as much as I do

Back strap kept slipping
2 years ago
Had to return these. Seemed rather cheap plastic. I will say they had good sharp traction on the bottom. I wore them twice and the second time I had to stop every so often to fix the slipping strap so I returned them. I really appreciate the REI return policy

Do not seem very durable

Seems very cheap. Firstly the company that was scheduled to deliver didn’t deliver them and REI had to send a second pair. Upon reviewing them they seem like minimal use would rip the material. I returned them with never using

Great Snowshoe

I like the way the straps tighten. My wife has a different pair MSRs and the straps are much more difficult to tighten.
