What began as a solution for women has become the top choice of anyone with a narrow gait, or those seeking the lightest possible alternative in our most aggressive snowshoe. We engineered our Women’s 360° Traction™ Frames in conjunction with a renowned expert in athletic biomechanics resulting in a lower-profile frame that saves weight and improves agility with narrow gaits. Paired with our new, most secure, dual-component PosiLock™ AT bindings to create our most secure attachment, Modular Flotation tails, Pivot™ Crampons and new, easily-engaged Ergo™ Televators back you up with every step.

Price Value Quality I've had these snowshoes for a year now and they have been excellent for me. Great traction especially for climbing and steep traverses. I have the optional tails and love the versatility of adding them for the deep stuff or when carrying a heavy pack. It does take a little more time to get all the buckles done but once they are on they feel super secure. I tried the lightning axis bindings but they just always felt sloppy. Bottom line, yes they are alot of money but they will do everything you need. Plus if you wait until Feb. or March, BCG usually puts them on sale. I also talked my husband into buying a pair too and he loves them.
