Backcountry snowshoeing is a completely different breed than normal snowshoe pursuits. The lay of land and constantly changing topography requires walking in much more wind effected snow conditions, ranging from deep powder, to windblown, ice, rock, and everything in between. This requires a much different design than a standard snowshoe, and Atlas delivers with a true 4 x 4 go anywhere, conquer anything snowshoe. The Atlas Range Men’s BC Snowshoes is the next evolution in Atlas’s proven record of engineering high-performance backcountry snowshoes for the adventure seeking male. This innovative design is built around a single-piece Reactiv-Trac Frame with integrated saw-toothed aluminum traction rails that provide lightweight stability and traction for backcountry exploration. Adding to the grip provided by the traction rails is the lightweight, low-profile BC Crampon, crafted from tempered steel and bringing the bite needed in variable snow conditions many times found above tree line. Designed to accommodate larger mountaineering and snowboard boots, the Range BC PackFlat Binding features a field- replaceable urethane Z-Strap that holds the foot securely in place. When not in use, the PackFlat Binding allows snowshoes to nest together for easy and efficient packability. Rounding out the design are 19-degree heel lifts that reduce calf tension and tendon strain when going for those steep ascents. So, the next time you plan to visit high alpine zones with long approaches and ever-changing snow conditions, come prepared. Choose the Atlas Range Men’s BC Snowshoe. They will take you there and get you back safely, each and every time.
