Suspension for everyone. The 9 Series snowshoes use Spring-Loaded Suspension for natural articulation of the foot over uneven and sidehill terrain, flexing the men's and women's-specific shapes of the 6061 aluminum proprietary V-frame. With each step, SLS gives the All-Trac toe crampon deeper purchase, and the new tempered steel Tri-Cleat offers 360deg traction under your heel. The flexible Wrapp men's and women's bindings tighten easily and cradle the foot securely. Even in the dead cold of winter, the Nytex decking is both flexible and durable. Whether you're new to snowshoeing or looking for Atlas technology at a great value, the Elektra 9 Series are built to explore winter's rolling terrain. 80-160 pound load capacity.
