Easy to use, lightweight. I’ve been using them mostly on flatish snowshoe trails. They did well in some moderately deep powder too although I’m sure the floatation tail would improve this. I like how light they are in comparison to other snowshoes I’ve used.
Only used once so far. Super lightweight, I could barely tell when they were on! Which was a slight issue as they easily slipped off a few times until I really cranked tight on the straps. My feet would start to cramp if I stayed still too long due to the tightness but the straps stayed up after that. I’m hoping I can figure out a better solution because otherwise they’re quite comfortable.
They are a bit wider than expected, and wiggle a bit when walking. Other than those nit-picks they are very light and hold well on mountain trails
