Heel Lifts
What is a heel lift? It's an optional feature for your snowshoes, which adds 2 inches of platform under your heel and makes climbing more efficient, comfortable (by reducing the strain on your calf muscles), and improves traction.
If you're located in the mountains, and you're snowshoeing up long, sustained climbs, a heel lift might be exactly what the doctor ordered. If you're spending most of your time on flatter or rolling terrain, you probably don't need the heel lift.
Crescent Moon Bindings
Bindings are important and should be robust enough so you'll feel support in every direction of movement whether it's uphill, downhill, traversing terrain, walking, or even running. By comparison to other binding systems, they are incredibly easy and fast to get into and out of. They hold your foot like a podiatrist in love, and instead of nylon webbing, Crescent Moon uses hypalon strapping, a nearly unbreakable waterproof material that works in a huge range of temperatures.
The advantage is that the bindings won't come loose, won't freeze, and won't come off your foot in the middle of a steep, snowy climb. For durability, performance, comfort and reliability, the Sawtooth 27 snowshoe is a great choice for any enthusiast. Confidence in your equipment makes you comfortable in every situation. And with gear this good, your boundaries are limitless.
