Information

Description

Starting at 2.95 lbs. per PAIR, the stout Men's Elite is around half the weight of other men's 25 snowshoes!

Slightly wider and with a thicker frame than the Women's Elite, the Men's Elite is our most popular snowshoe for men up to 180lbs looking to shed the weight and go further, faster. The unmatched weight of the Elite provides for unsurpassed maneuverability and speed in all conditions and terrain.

Although designed for hiking, it is light enough to easily use in races yet rugged enough to propel 1,000 mile Iditarod champions!

The Elite is a step up from the Quicksilver 25" snowshoes due to a lighter 7075 series aluminum alloy 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.
