Product Description While the American Alpine Institute's Guides Choice Award might suggest that Atlas 10 Series snowshoes are made for mountaineering, the reality is that this is an all-terrain design that's suitable for a wide range of users from beginners to seasoned hikers. If you're looking for a snowshoe performance design that's a big step apart for recreational snowshoes developed for hardpack trails, the 10 Series is the way to go without getting into the extra large sizes found on the Atlas 12 and 13 Series designs. This 1025 snowshoe is the most compact design in the series, featuring 176 square inches of surface area that's made to support loads between 120 and 200 lbs. (that's fully loaded with your jacket, boots and pack on). When you consider the 80-lb. load range, it's easy to understand why this versatile design is a superb choice for outdoor enthusiasts who want to hike, trek and climb on the same reliable pair of snowshoes throughout the season.FeaturesIntended for all-terrain endeavors on broken trail or backcountry--suitable for winter climbingLightweight and durable 6061 aluminum V frame suspensionRugged reinforced nylon deckingPatented Spring-Loaded Suspension (SLS) on a Wrapp Plus bindingTraverse Trac side rails and heel cleats for stability and traction3-D formed Holey-1 toe crampon for increased holdSupports loads between 120 to 250 lbs.Surface area: 176 sq. in.Length: 25 in.Weight: 3.83 lbs.
