Durable construction and ergonomic design combine to help you take on snow and ice with confidence.Atlas undertook a two year biomechanics research program to develop design features that directly addressed the unique needs of women. Elektra frames incorporate tapered tails, narrower noses and outside rolling bends that properly accommodate a woman's natural gait. Bindings are molded around a women's boot last, offer increased arch support and use strategic strap placement and padding to eliminate pressure points and encourage circulation.Elektra 11 Series Women's snowshoes are available in two sizes. The 23 inch length is suitable for a total weight user and gear of 80 160 pounds. The recommended use range for the larger 27 inch shoe is 120 200 pounds.Atlas' patented impact absorbing Spring Loaded Suspension SLS keeps Elektra 11 Series Women's snowshoes close underfoot while suspending your foot so it can move freely to adjust to terrain and slope changes. By allowing your foot to flex naturally, Elektra 11 Series Women's snowshoes improve stability and balance while providing deep crampon penetration for maximum traction. The Wrapp Plus binding has a supportive arch that cradles the inside of your feet to keep you comfortable even during long, challenging days in the backcountry. A urethane heel strap adjusts easily with a SureClick buckle to ensure a secure and proper fit.The 6061 aluminum V frame delivers an efficient, natural stride. By tracking straight in deep snow and pulling less snow as you step forward, the nose and tapered tail of Elektra 11 Series Women's snowshoes save you energy. A built in Heel Lift Bar lessens the distance that the bottom of your boot travels from the snowshoe deck during climbs. This feature greatly improves performance on steep slopes and helps to reduce the fatigue associated with elevation gains. Providing lightweight durability, flexible Duratek decking optimizes flotation. A pebble finish increases abrasion resistance. NOTE: A minimum base of 6 8 of snow is suggested for usage in order to properly protect the integrity of the decking material.The stainless steel All Trac toe crampon provides all direction traction. Wider tabs at the sides and corners of the crampon complement sharp front and rear points in providing confident footing. Sharp ice tips on a rear heel cleat provide excellent all mountain traction.Atlas Elektra 11 Series Women's snowshoes are sold in pairs. 23 inch, 27 inch, U10011123, U10011127
