Information

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.
