Tundra Information

Description

At just over 3 lbs. per pair, the 33" long Tundra weighs less than the 22" models of many other snowshoes!  

 

The Tundra is our super-floater for men and women (typically men) carrying loads up to 275lbs in the deepest snows.  While these are big snowshoes, they are designed to provide a more natural stride with a width of only 9 1/2".

 

The Tundra is our premium ultralight powder snowshoe with the lightest 7075 series frame possible, a lighter yet equally strong grade of COOLTHANE® decking, color options including Rescue Orange, and 42 more compact ridged deck clips for even more weight savings.

 

The Tundra means huge weight savings.  The average snowshoer takes more than 3,200 strides per mile.  At a typical weight savings of more than 10 oz. per shoe, that means you're saving more than 2,000 lbs. of weight lift per mile compared to the typical comparable snowshoe.

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 Tundra?

Absolutely! If you are a woman trekking through very deep snow or with very heavy loads, the Tundra will be a great snowshoe for you. However, you may want to consider the Backcountry if you are going to be less than 225 lbs. with gear. We used to carry a Women's Backcountry that was identical except for different colors, but ended up consolidating them into one unisex 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. 

Poster

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.
