Tips for Buying Snowshoes Get the right style for your intended use The Details: Rubber strap | 16.5 and 19 inch length | Rubber Evvo also sources 90 percent of the rubber sole material from bio-sourced components, making winter excursions more sustainable. The upper portion of the snowshoe repels water and provides ankle support.

Adding ice spikes - seven to be exact - to the Evvo improves the traction of the grippy rubber sole.

The choice of rubber also helps reduce noise while walking, a big plus when snowshoeing in groups. Evvo crafted the rubber sole in partnership with Michelin, which is evident given the outsoles tire-like treads. Having the foot fixed to the deck directly, plus a flexible sole, helps achieve a natural stride, especially on packed snow. The snowshoe is secured with two rubber straps - one on the heel and another across the top of the foot.

The clog-style, rubber Evvo Snowshoe 1 represent a major shift from conventional snowshoe design. The compact dimensions limit the flotation in deeper snow. The Details: Wrapp MTN, Boa Fit system | 270 pound weight capacity | 23, 26, and 30 inch length | Aluminum frame and composite deck The proprietary Wrapp-MTN bindings incorporate a heel strap and Boa closures to dial in a secure fit that’s evenly distributed across the foot for comfort. Snowshoers can engage the 19-degree heel lift to alleviate leg muscles on steep climbs and easily click it back in place on flat and downhill terrain. For traction, a circle of sharp steel crampons is fitted under the toe while serrated aluminum traction rails run the majority of the deck for enhanced grip. The deck’s flexibility is a major benefit, bending easily to promote a more natural stride, even in the most frigid conditions. Its proprietary Helium deck has a slatted louver design to shed snow and reduce weight. And these top-notch features come at a value, too, compared to the competitors we researched. The Atlas Helium MTN has a lot to boast about: a lightweight design, aggressive traction, and a precise and secure binding system. The tempered steel teeth don’t extend all the way to the back of the deck.
