Today I'm going to review my Tubb Frontier 36-inch snowshoes. I bought these in Minnesota at a shield store. I've only owned them about a week. They seem pretty good. I'll give then work out here for you.

The bindings. They're a lot better than the cheaper Tubbs that have. Just straps: these as a plastic binding on them. I don't know how long these bindings are going to last. I am a little weary with them. Just the cheap plastic, but hopefully if they don't last I can replace them easy or I can repair them.

Here's the back. Got the little claw there. See that have these straps in the front and the back. There's a little metal hook. There are holes in the plastic and you get the little nub there and the metal nib you little hole banging in the back. It can leave like this or I can take it and wrap it on the back for a little extra work.

There's a little plastic clip right on the back of the strap that you can put your slack on to that clip to hold down there. We go so pretty tight, so we'll go out and walk around and it works out. I'm going to take for a little walk through my backyards into the backwoods up a hill. They hold pretty good. Linings are good. They don't come loose. I'm only sinking down maybe in the end inch and a half pretty easy to walk on.

One thing I really like about snowshoes is that I can go places I went arm legal with my skis. I'm not a world-class cross-country skier so I went normally come up to the edge of this little cliff here on my skis for fear that I would find myself in the stream below. I can get a pretty close. I don't want to get too close edge because this is just a big snowdrift on the edge that will probably collapse but I really like the fact that I can get out and go through the woods in areas where I couldn't go with my skis. I'm going to go up a hill here with the shoes on just give you an idea how they work. How well they work on heels. I'm sure they work pretty good. I haven't done a lot but I'll try. We're pretty good that's a lot easier than going up there and went through the snow on boots especially when you got about two feet of snow. All in all. I like these snowshoes. I think they're pretty good.

This is some information on the Crescent. Moon Gold 13 trail snowshoes. These snowshoes are made in the USA right in Boulder, Colorado. This is a women's specific snowshoe that is lightweight and easy to use. Mainly used on hard packed condition what makes it a women's specific trail snowshoe is.

As you can see, it's tapered in the back. This allows you to walk freely without knocking the other snowshoe. The front of the snowshoe. It has a very steep angle which keeps the snow off the snowshoe from catching in the snow. Underneath the snowshoe, you have two main cleats which are fairly deep which allow you to walk in hardpack conditions and also unique to this brand of snowshoes is the toe cleat what this does this allow you. To break easily on the downhills. Particularly when it's a bit icy out.

What I love about the snowshoe it's lightweight but more than anything. The binding system is super easy to use. What we recommend is you to fit it first before going out in the snow. That way you'll never have to take your gloves off simply. Push the boot in and along the heel. There's this black strap as you can see. Right now we're just adjusting the backslap strap so it fits around the heel. Once you're out in the snow simply put the boot in and you're going to use simple ratcheting system. Just tighten it up now in the front. It's a very easy pull system to tighten the front and so you can see you can just keep your gloves on without one out on the snow.

Now the nice thing about the toe is you can see its kind of closed toe and what this does is prevent the boot from creeping forward. You're not banging against the snowshoe so to take the boot off. All you're going to do is pull with one simple hand there and claps, and pull, and stuff out. The Crescent Moon Gold 13 trails snowshoes are a great lightweight, all-around trail snowshoe specifically made for women.

The crescent moon gold 12 or our fitness or race shoe is the number one growing. Race you on the market it has our. Exaggerated teardrop frame in fact this is the same frame that you'll find on our women's gold 13 or silver 13 in our. Binding system we use a polymer top and. Footed but a lightweight side straps. And heal strap we still use our spl to. Allow for a very simple on and off of the binding, and we put aluminum traction. Systems on there to make it very lightweight but again we're the only. True told cleat on the market so in those races that you need traction for. Uphill or on the hard packs the crescent. Moon gold 12 will get you there on time. You.

These are MSR Lightning trail snowshoes. These shoes are built to provide excellent performance on rolling terrain. They're lightweight and they have adaptability when snow conditions call for greater flotation to keep from sinking too deeply.

The frames of the snowshoes are made of lightweight but highly durable aluminum. The urethane decking across the top of the frame helps to keep you up on top of the snow. If you look closely at the frame you'll see that there are basically teeth cut right into it, and they go a long way to providing all the traction that you need.

A stainless steel toe crampon then goes even further to ensure a confident grip with each step. The crampon is designed to pivot and move freely but do so without over rotation that can trip you up. Couple this with the frames ergonomic shape and you have a snowshoe that allows you to maintain a natural stride pattern.

MSR duo fit bindings have two four foot straps and a heel strap. That simple design is straightforward to use and provides a broad range of fit adjustability for different sized feet and a variety of footwear styles. The shorter length is best for up to 180 pounds with that way to include you, your clothes, footwear, and any gear you might be carrying. The 25 inch is best for 120 to 220 pounds. Note that the snowshoes do have a modular design and you can pair them with MSR lightning tails for use in really soft snow or if you need to accommodate even more weight.

Those tails are sold separately, but they're a great investment that increases the versatility of your snowshoes providing ultra lightweight traction for rolling terrain.

The wave Boa's system can change that it was natural for us to go from cycling shoes to develop and evolve our notion line with the Boa system. I mean we all know that snowshoes are now attracted track leads and runners and those guys are used to very high-tech and very comfortable and very performing product. So was natural for us to translate the performance of the boa system to the solutions.

One of our main goals was to solve the problem that this new shoe market had fit. First, the ratchet system was always a problem. A pressure point, time of adjustment, weight when you go down, the pressure that the ratchet is doing on the on your foot. So we wanted to solve that basically and the first product that we developed in the boa system is their running shoes. So the running shoes what we wanted to do is basically develop the lightest running shoes in the market. But also our running shoes running snowshoes that will be. That the runner will be able to use with any kind of running shoes.

We all know that those guys are used to run with Asics Mizuno. They are very specific fit. If they want to really right now. If they want to use those shoe what they have to do is to drill into the shoes and stick it to the deck and that's how they go running as new shoes. So it was a bit of a problem for us. So what we did, we take the boa system and redesign it basically. It can adjust and fit any running shoe and a market or any snowboard snow as new shoes for new shoe boots because of the way that the boa system is working.

The fact that we remove ratchet. We relieve the pressure point so basically it's a snug fit around the foot but also as you can see in front. It will adapt to any size automatically. Will adapt to any size of footwear and will prevent the foot sliding when you go down and create pressure. Lightweight that system. If you pick the ratchet system versus a boa system 30% lighter. So we reduce the weight drastically. The webbing that we use very light. The boa system we use is its in that running shoes is it's built with do one fourth at the top of the foot and one at the back to secure properly.

The issue and this basically right now. The line is running short of our earthly so honestly if you go to a running snowshoe race and you wear this with a running shoe. You have a definitive advantage on anybody if you erase you of weight versus what wattage that you're gonna provide.

This will give you a definitive adventist. It's funny because when we went at the demo many athletes came to see us and asked us to get the pair because they knew, they already knew that would that will give them something and the beauty. Also, we can sprint with this. You can run at the speed that you are. It will not after your natural running pattern. This is another advantage. You can continue to use the same so not creating any muscle string. Basically, it's probably the most natural running solution so from that we continue to develop. The frame is aluminum 7075 so extremely strong arrow. Great stainless steel grab onto the back stainless steel rivet.

We're cutting weight is essential. The bindings are comfortable, easy to use, and they accommodate a wide range of footwear. Let's check them out. These are designed with a women's specific gait and stride. That means the shape of the snowshoes' taper just right. You have a more natural stride. The rugged exo tracked decking is strong and holds up against ice and rock better than traditional flexible decking materials.

The aluminum frame gives excellent traction. There is an aggressive tooth profile to the frame so it does better impact and groomed snow compared to the round frames of traditional snowshoes. There's more traction underfoot with the molded decking. The pivoting crampon digs into the packed snow and is made of stainless steel for durability in wet conditions. It gives you free-range of motion but does not over rotate. Stops at a certain point so you maintain balance.

The other benefit to the flexible decking is that these snowshoes actively respond to uneven terrain. If you step on a piece of hard ice the decking flexes and you maintain balance.

They're available in two sizes 22 and 25-inch lengths as a rule of thumb. You'll have better agility with shorter snowshoes impact or groomed snow. You don't need as much flotation so a shorter shoe is the best deep untracked powder. On the other hand, demands more surface area to keep you afloat. So if you anticipate powdery conditions most of the time you will benefit from the larger size.

Overall weight including gear and clothing comes into play in powder — the 22-inch size is suited for up to 180 pounds and the 25-inch size works well up to 210 pounds. Remember, there's a range here so be sure to check the specs. If you experience a mix of conditions throughout the season consider adding MSR Revo tails to the back when you need more flotation.
