TSL 438 Access Snowshoes 438 UP & DOWN GRIP : These models are fitted with an Up&Down lift (TSL patent) to reduce the effects of walking uphill and downhill (the back of the binding passes under the frame to keep the foot flat and prevent it from pressing against the toe of the shoe). The Access binding allows you to put the snowshoe on quickly, precisely and comfortably, and it memorizes the size of your shoe. Finally, the 8 crampons, the front teeth and the grips under each foot provide maximum traction Color: Dark Grey Size: 25 inch Composite snowshoe designed for snowshoers between 130-260 lbs Unique up and down system keeps your foot level whether ascending or descending. Soft frame and narrow tail allows for natural stride and optimum comfort Front toe crampon, 8 steel crampon points, and lateral traction bars for superior performance and traction Easy to adjust binding for all boots sizes Expedition proven from the Alps to Antarctica, TSL Snowshoes is the leading manufacturer of aluminum frame and composite snowshoes and accessories for every adventure.
