Information

Description

The bundle includes the ultralight 7075-T6 aluminum alloy trekking poles that are great for winter or summer hikes. The snow and mud baskets can be swapped without any tools, and the extra ascent grip helps for climbs. The premium carry-bag fits the snowshoes and poles, and includes drainage holes to allow moisture to escape during storage.

 

At 3 lbs. per PAIR, the 30" long Backcountry weighs less than the 22" models of other snowshoes!

 

Designed for men and women up to 225lbs looking for a backcountry workhorse that won't leave you with sore legs, the Backcountry provides the floatation you'll need but with huge weight savings. Longer and slightly wider than the 25" Elite, the Backcountry gets the job done for heavier users or deeper snow conditions when you need to stay on top.

 

The 9" x 30" Backcountry is a step up from the Quicksilver 30" snowshoes due to a lighter 7075 series frame, a lighter yet equally strong grade of COOLTHANE® decking, additional color options including Rescue Orange, and 42 more compact ridged deck clips for even more weight savings.

FAQs

What's the difference between the Quicksilver 25 and 30, and the Elite or Backcountry snowshoe models?

The Quicksilver's aluminum frame is slightly heavier and not quite as durable as the Elite or Backcountry snowshoes (6000 series vs. 7075-T6 alloy). The only color option for the Quicksilver line is silver and tan. 

I'm a woman, can I get the Backcountry?

Absolutely! If you are a woman trekking through deep snow or with heavy loads, the Backcountry will be a great snowshoe for you. We used to carry a Women's Backcountry that was identical except for different colors, but ended up consolidating them into one unisex snowshoe.

2024: How Light are Lites?

It's hard to understand how ultralight Northern Lites truly are until you hold them in your hand. To help, we compiled some of the most popular premium 30 inch snowshoes out there.

 

As you can see, the Backcountry is crazy light within it's size class, with an average weight savings of 35% vs. the competition!
