Powderridge Men's Crest Kit Snow Shoes The supportive and easy-to-use double-ratchet binding is secure and features mitten-friendly buckles. The nylon webbing heel strap is easy to cinch with an intuitive ladder-lock system. The rotating toe cord system allows the tail of the snowshoe to drop, maximizing crampon penetration and minimizing fatigue in powder snow. A carbon steel toe crampon provides ample traction for rolling terrain, and a heel cleat provides additional traction underfoot for descents. The durable 6000 series aluminum frame is gender-specific and tapered at the tail for a comfortable, natural stride.
