If youre eager to start breaking trail without breaking your budget, the Tubbs Mens Venture Series Snowshoe is a great bridge into true wilderness snowshoeing. Strap down the asymmetrical ReAct binding for custom foot-specific fit and the all-day comfort youll need on longer hikes. Lightweight aluminum toe crampons bite into hardpack and icy crust for a secure step in variable conditions, while the Ventures TriTec decking and lightweight 6000-series aluminum frame keep you afloat in deep snow without weighing you down. A rotating toe cord lets you dump accumulated snow off of the Venture with every step, and Tubbs innovative Fit-Step design uses biomechanics to reduce fatigue on long treks. On the way back down, youll feel confident as the rear claw crampons grip the snow under your heels.
