Hexagon Patterned Base:
Provides excellent grip in all directions. On soft to firm snows, the hexagons work on a similar principle to the wax-less Fischer scale on cross country skis. The hexagon pattern captures the snow, which is then able to be compressed in the shallow depth when the platform is stepped upon. Any side slip has to shear the captured snow of the entire surface area of the deck. Similar to a snow ball, compacted snow is quite strong, and has a good shear strength. The extra aggressive raised hexagon pattern directly under the foot enables greater grip on firmer snows.
Dual Harness System:
The unique binding system securely and comfortably holds the boot. Inner straps prevent side movement of the boot on the deck. Outer straps prevent forward and backward movement, and stops the boot lifting away from the deck. This feature provides for an unparalleled stability for your boot on the flexible snowshoe. Quick and easy adjustment
