Atlas 927 Elektra Snowshoes Starter Kit - Women's

Get out in the snow! The Atlas 927 Elektra snowshoes starter kit includes women-specific snowshoes, adjustable poles and a carry tote for excellent value and performance for exploring rolling terrain. Tough frames are crafted from 6061 aluminum to create a stiff yet lightweight chassis. Designed for a woman's stance and stride, the optimized nose and tail shapes provide a balanced platform for stable footing and easy walking. Free-Rotating(TM) Suspension lets the binding rotate much farther forward than previous Atlas designs, freeing up the stride and reducing the amount of tail flip. The result of the design is that freedom of movement is increased, the toe crampon can bite into snow better and the foot is allowed a more natural rotation. Abrasion-resistant, lightweight Nytex(TM) nylon decks stay flexible when cold and stand up to the elements for lasting use. Wrapp(TM) bindings use a single-pull, continuous webbing design that tightens snugly with a light tug; bindings also cradle feet and arches for a secure, comfortable fit. Steel toe crampons supply sure-footed traction on icy and snowy terrain; heel crampons increase traction while traversing and descending. 2-part, adjustable-length poles assist with balance and propulsion; feature lightweight 6000-series aluminum, plastic grips and steel flex-tips. Poles also have wide, alpine powder baskets for pushing/planting power and adjustable hand straps to enhance support and minimize fatigue. Poles adjust up to 130cm. Starter kit includes heavyweight nylon tote/storage bag with mesh panels that allow snowshoes to dry out after use. Atlas 927 Elektra snowshoes' recommended load specification includes weight of hiker with gear.
