Quicksilver Information

Description

The Quicksilver series has always been the favorite everyday workhorse of the Northern Lites lineup.

With two binding options that fit a wide variety of Men & Women’s shoe sizes, they’re a very well-rounded, user-friendly and versatile snowshoe that still boasts an incredibly lightweight package at a more affordable price.

You won’t find a snowshoe in this price range that includes our limited lifetime warranty, is made in the USA, has 38 heat-treated nylon edge-traction clips and boasts bomb-proof and ultralight COOLTHANE® military-tan decking used on U.S. Navy Seal rafts.

Available in 25 inches for men and women up to 180lbs and 30 inches for men and women up to 225lbs, and great for on or off trail snowshoeing.

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.

What's the difference between the Quicksilver 25 and Quicksilver 30?

Size is the only difference. The Quicksilver 25 is 25 inches long, with a recommended flotation limit of 180lbs. The Quicksilver 30 is 5 inches longer at 30 inches long and a recommended flotation limit of 225lbs. If you're close to the weight limit and like to snowshoe in fresh snow or powder (or venture off trail) it's typically wise to size up your snowshoe vs. size down.

I'm a woman, which Quicksilver should I get?

It's all about your weight with gear on. If you're under 180 lbs with all of your gear, go with the Quicksilver. Or, if you are always sticking to maintained trails with packed powder, go with the Quicksilver 25 as it's a better dedicated trail snowshoe.

Choosing Your Binding

Most snowshoers prefer the new advanced Spin Binding, but ultralight backpackers that require stackability and packability consider the Tru Trak binding.

Spin
Tru Trak

Highlights: BOA-like Spin Dial system with EVA foam padding makes this ultralight binding comfortable, quick and super secure.

Pros: Easy on/off even with mittens on, great foot security with toe-box, EVA padding gives all day comfort and eliminates hotspots.

Cons: Doesn't stack well on backpacks, slightly more weight than Tru Trak bindings.

Highlights: Simple over-boot three strap system time tested with 30+ years of intense field use.

Pros: Stacks on backpacks, simplicity, can self-install new straps. Highly adjustable.

Cons: Longer on/off, no toe-stop so slightly less secure than Spin Binding. Can be difficult to adjust with mittens on.
