ULTRALIGHT MEETS COMFORT & SIMPLICITY

We've combined our ultralight passion with a binding that emphasizes speed, comfort, & security.  

The new Spin binding integrates Northwave's SPIN dial system into our bindings to combine all of the most important attributes into our snowshoes. 

On and off couldn't be easier - simply turn the dial to cinch the binding in. When done, pull the tab to release the binding cord.

Keeping the Ultralight Passion

We didn't build our snowshoes around this binding - we built the binding around our line of ultralight snowshoes we've been perfecting for over 30 years.

Foam Layer for Maximum Comfort

We added a layer of 1/8" thick comfort foam to add comfort with minimal weight gain.

All-Foot-Encompassing Design 

Unlike strap or ratchet buckle bindings, the Spin binding spreads around your entire foot for even pressure.

The Dyneema snow cable is strong enough to be trusted in parachutes. Hundreds of small, lightweight nylon fibers combine for incredible tension strength.
