Race Wave Snowshoe Information

Description

Named one of Outside Magazine's Best Snowshoes of 2022, the Race Wave is by far the lightest traditional racing snowshoe on the market worn by world class athletes and champions such as Joseph Gray, Anthony Kunkel and others.

For the last two decades, Northern Lites has been at the forefront of Racing Snowshoes with the lightest, most durable, full-featured snowshoes on the market. The Race Wave evolved from taking our Race snowshoe and cutting weight wherever possible, mainly by keeping the deck as slim-profile as possible while maintaining durability.
