Women's Elite 25 Ultralight Snowshoes
Description
Description
Starting at just over 2.45 lbs. per PAIR, the Women's Elite is around half the weight of other 25" all-terrain snowshoes.
Year after year, the Women's Elite remains one of our most popular snowshoe models for women up to 180lbs looking to shed the weight and go further, faster. The 8" x 25" size and unmatched weight provides for unsurpassed maneuverability and speed in all conditions and terrain. Although designed for hiking, it is light enough to easily use in races.
The Elite is a step up from the Quicksilver 25" snowshoes due to a lighter 7075 series frame, a lighter yet equally strong grade of COOLTHANE® decking, powder-coated color options and 38 more compact ridged deck clips for even more weight savings.

HOW LIGHT ARE LITES?
It's hard to understand how lightweight Northern Lites are until you hold them yourself. So, we've compiled a list.
TECHNOLOGY
We've combined ultralight and durable over the last 30+ years. Explore some of our technology that makes this possible.
SPIN DIAL
Similar to a BOA System, turn the Spin Dial by Northwave to cinch in the abrasion-resistant cable.
COOLTHANE DECKING
Used for inflatable Navy boats, the polyurethane coated nylon webbing is ultralight and durable with a smooth texture minimizing snow drag.
7075-T6 ALUMINUM
The lightest and strongest aluminum you’ll find on snowshoes. Other snowshoes use 6000 series aluminum which is ~2X heavier and fragile.
360° TRACTION CLIPS
Underside traction wings on the deck clips add 360 degree traction around the perimeter of the snowshoe.
EZ HEEL LIFT
(Summit Traction Only) Reduces calf fatigue and Achilles tendon strain and can be pulled up and down with ease as-needed.
SS TRAVERSING CLAWS
(Summit Traction Only) Four stainless-steel traversing claws aid in side-hilling on uneven terrain.
CHOOSE YOUR TRACTION SYSTEM
Choose the featherweight Glide system for flat to rolling terrain or the Summit system for added traction and an integrated heel lift for steep ascents.
-

- Rear Stainless Steel and Front 9-Point Duraluminum Crampon with ice guards
