These were used by my wife and I while snowshoeing west of Durango, Colorado, in the San Juan National Forest. We each had a 20-pound backpack on our backs.What size are you?I am 5'10" and weigh around 185 without a pack ", and my wife weighs about 105 pounds without a pack on a good day.How much snow can these go through?After pulling them off, assuming I didn't need them, and then practically quickly sinking one like up to my crotch, I discovered that we were trudging on approximately 3 or 4 feet of snow. When I did that, it turned out that we were actually snowshoeing over a creek since I could see the water gushing under the leg-sized hole I had cut in the snow.They're not too hefty to simply sling onto your pack when you don't REALLY need them.Why choose them over less expensive brands?I have personally tried these, and they are assured to be made in the USA.Overall, these are effective. We traversed creeks and ascended really icy embankments while walking.Also, get the flotation tails!If you want to watch them in action, search for "Mark Daniel Imaging" on YouTube "Durango, Colorado, and my channel's narrow gauge train.

These Lightning Ascent snowshoes have proven to be the ideal choice for me during lengthy hikes around the Berkshires. I don't get tired wearing these, and my feet stay cozy the entire time. even with gloves on, simple to put on and take off. can also quickly and easily switch between various styles of footwear. The bindings are adaptable and sturdy. The bindings are easy to fit to my foot, however as other reviews have noted, standing up can make it difficult to reach the heal strap.Before choosing which brand and model of snowshoes to purchase, I extensively researched the subject as a novice. These MSR footwear are perfect for me. On every type of terrain I have tested them on so far, they have great traction. They appear to be well-built, so I anticipate that they will endure a long time.Snowshoeing is a LOUD activityââŹâcrunch, crunch, crunchââŹâI had no idea!(1 year update) I still adore these after using them frequently for a season on walks lasting more than two hours. In fact, I began to feel arrogant every time I saw a fellow snowshoer who complained about having trouble on ice terrain since their shoes were of a lower quality and lacked adequate traction. These snowshoes are ideal because of their smaller footprint and better traction.

Perfect for my trek up ski trails to view some races. This year's weather, which varied between unseasonably cold and mild temperatures, left the ground slick and slippery even after grooming.I had a difficult time climbing the hill the week before I got these, slipping and stumbling behind a spectator who had these and was marching up with ease. So after the incident, I grew wise, slid down the hill on my bottom, and ordered these. I was quite happy to have them the following week when I went out with them.They are simple to put on and remove. The big aluminum spikes cut into the ice to offer me the traction I needed to travel up and down. The flexible plastic "hinge" maintained the walking motion natural and comfortable. The ratchet binding was simple to tighten and equally simple to swiftly open.- The broad area provided traction in the sporadic snow patches. Realistically, these will spend 355 out of 365 days in a closet with other items, so the storage bag is also quite helpful. The cost was also affordable.My only complaint is that the front binding pushes the foot back as it tightens, causing my feet to finish up a little too far back in the bindings. User error is a possibility, and it hasn't significantly diminished the function.

This pair of snowshoes is ideal for me! Since I'm new to snowshoeing, this outfit is excellent and ideal for a novice. The equipment performed flawlessly in the snow. The shoes fit well; they are neither too long nor too wide. It was a terrific first workout, and I found the shoes I was looking for to help me get around the park's track! Additionally, using the poles provided a fantastic upper body workout! The poles' top and bottom can be adjusted to accommodate different heights. The gaiters were a fantastic addition to this bundle because they actually did keep the snow out of my boots and jeans. Many of the sets I considered cost more and were missing them. Another good plus is the carrying bag! It has straps for both carrying the equipment on your back and for carrying it in your hands. I am quite pleased with this buy overall.

Within two days of obtaining these snowshoes, I used them. I decided it would be the ideal moment to test these puppies as there was six feet of fresh snow in the northern Sierras. I traveled 10 miles round way with my rescue dog and had no issues. I walked the entire time with a 45-pound load. On the three trades over 30 degrees where I used the heal lifts, they were successful and the straps never became loose. I returned from the trip with small frame scratches but no other damage. There was only a minor indentation created in my shoes where the straps crossed the top of the shoe. I loved them so much that I told my son, who is on the same Search and Rescue team as me, about them, and he too really enjoyed them.

I was quite happy with how long-lasting these snowshoes were. Snowshoeing has always been my husband's hobby, but he was concerned to invest a lot of money in a pair in case he ended up loathing it. I'm overjoyed that he did enjoy it and that we were able to find a terrific pair at a fantastic price! Looking forward to putting lots of miles on them this winter, they are very reasonably priced!

My 2.5-year-old son received these snowshoes for Christmas, and while he hasn't used them in the snow, we did take them for a test run on some grass, where he was able to go around without falling. Since they appear to be capable of holding considerably larger shoes than he currently wears, we should get many years out of them. Since they are all made of plastic, these snowshoes are obviously not intended for usage in harsh environments and are more suitable for everyday use. That's perfect for the intended user, though!One letdown: although the included stickers to adorn the snowshoes are a good idea (no two snowflakes are similar, right? ), they don't adhere to the snowshoes very well, even after drying. During our first snowy outing, I'm sure the rest will fall off as some already have.

This year, we've received more snow than usual. We still have a solid two and a half feet on the flat as of this writing in the first week of March, and additional snow is coming every day. The idea of trudging through the snow or clearing a way made me want to check the greenhouse, but it was too much to consider. Then one of those light bulbs that can still glow brilliantly without an electrical connection came over my head. Snowshoes would be ideal! There are various alternatives while searching on Amazon. I decided that Carryons offered the best price/quality ratio. They are well-made, simple to fasten, and efficient.

I've taken these snow shoes on five snowshoe trips totaling 4 to 10 miles, and they've worked admirably given their price. While my hiking companion's Tubbs Expeditions are more convenient to put on and keep tighter for longer, they are just half as expensive and have carried me to all the same locations. In high mountain terrain, snowshoeing has been done through 6 to 20 inches of snow. Once you have the back strap adjusted to your preference, they are quite simple to put on and operate well whether you are going uphill or downhill. The buckle mechanism isn't perfect, so you might need to stoop down every few kilometers to adjust them a notch or two. This is one of the drawbacks. Given that it only takes a moment and how little these cost in comparison to most snow shoes, I don't think it's a major concern. The pole tightening method is another drawback, as it might be challenging to "release" them in cold weather in order to expand or collapse them. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase, and if they last the entire snowshoe season, I'll feel like I got my money's worth.

For a group day trek over the weekend, we used them. I was rather assured in these. I held my own despite the other people we were with having more expensive brands of snowshoes. The following weekend, I'm going backpacking, and I'll update as needed. I have so far really like the straps, however I have noticed that others seem to take considerably longer to put theirs on. Uphill, it worked perfectly; downward, I slipped a few times before I learned to put my feet flat to increase the front crampons' grip. I'm not complaining at all because I know how much the other people spent on their snowshoes.I feel comfortable suggesting these after a 3-day snow backpacking trip in the Sierras. Everyone (14 others) was wearing far more costly snowshoes, and I had complete faith in them. I'm surprised to see how difficult the straps on the more costly models are compared to how easy mine were to fasten. These straps are strong and incredibly quick. These worked for me at 145 pounds on a day hike and a backpacking trip with a 45-pound pack. Highly advised.
There's no need for special shoes when you wear snowshoes, although you'll want to make sure you have a good, waterproof pair that will keep your feet warm and dry. Snowshoes are designed to fit over your regular shoes or boots, so as long as they're not too bulky, you should be fine.
If you're new to snowshoeing, you may be wondering if you need poles. The answer is that it depends on your personal preference. Some people find that poles help them balance and keep their footing, while others find them unnecessary. Ultimately, it's up to you to decide whether or not you want to use poles.
Assuming you are asking if snowshoes help keep you from sinking into deep snow, the answer is yes. Snowshoes distribute your weight over a larger area so you donââŹâ˘t sink as deep into the snow. They also have spikes or other traction devices on the bottom to help keep you from slipping.
Snowshoeing is a great way to get outside and enjoy the winter scenery, but it can be difficult if you're not used to walking in snow. The key is to take your time and don't be afraid to fall. Once you get the hang of it, you'll be able to enjoy the fresh air and exercise without worrying about the cold.
There are a few things youââŹâ˘ll want to consider when purchasing snowshoes. First, consider the type of snowshoeing youââŹâ˘ll be doing. If youââŹâ˘re mostly going to be on packed trails, youââŹâ˘ll want a lighter weight, narrower snowshoe. If youââŹâ˘re planning on doing off-trail hiking, youââŹâ˘ll want a snowshoe that is wider and has more floatation. Next, consider the size of the snowshoe. Snowshoes are sized based on weight, so make
When choosing snowshoes, it is important to consider the type of terrain you will be using them on. If you plan on using them primarily on packed trails, you will want a lighter weight snowshoe with less aggressive traction. If you plan on using them off-trail or in deeper snow, you will want a snowshoe with more aggressive traction and a higher weight capacity. It is also important to consider the width of the snowshoe. Wider snowshoes will provide more floatation in deep snow, while narrower snowshoes will be more maneuverable on
