Say hello to the all-new 2012 Atlas Aspect snowshoes, winner of the prestigious Outside Magazine 'Outdoor Gear of the Year' Award. Available in 24" and 28" lengths (see sizing chart below), the Atlas Aspect exceeds all expectations and includes a host of revolutionary innovations for the ultimate backcountry weapon that'll conquer even the most demanding, technical terrain and conditions. Backcountry snowshoers demand specific, highly engineered snowshoes that are incredibly rugged, lightweight and include aggressive traction and grip. The Atlas Aspect snowshoes include the advanced features to satisfy these demands. The amazing Reactiv-Trac system features serrated, biting teeth integrated around the perimeter of the snowshoe frame, while the Spring-Loaded Suspension (SLS) suspends the foot for thoroughly natural articulation and lateral control that conforms with all uneven terrain, traversing side slopes and more. The stainless steel Holey-1 Toe Crampon prongs provide sharp, secure hold on even the most difficult, icy and frozen slopes.
The Atlas Aspect snowshoes PackFlat binding system allows the binding to pack completely flat for convenient, efficient backpack storage. The shallower nose angle of the Aspect further contributes to taking up less room when stored. PackFlat binding is easy to get in and out of, delivers solid stability, foot positioning and also universally accommodates all sizes and styles of winter footwear, including larger snowboarding boots and mountaineering boots. The integrated Heel Lift Bar easily tilts up and engages for long ascents, greatly reducing calf muscle fatigue. Maximum flotation in deep powder is achieved with the new Infinity Decking sleek and seamless design that optimizes surface area by integrating the decking below and inside the frame instead of wrapping around it. Superior strength, protection and abrasion resistance is also achieved. Bottom Line: Wherever your backcountry adventures take you, the Atlas Aspect snow shoes will get you there fast and efficiently, while packing flat for the trip down if switching over to a snowboard, telemark skis etc.
Recommended Use: For any demanding backcountry explorers seeking flat packing snowshoes that handle all deep powder, steep slopes, ice or any other extreme conditions.
Atlas Aspect Snowshoes Technological Features & Benefits:
ReactiV-Trac: Innovative construction that integrates the classic flex of an elliptically-formed nose with the perimeter traction of a serrated t-frame. The stout SLS straps flex the system’s tubular nose allowing the binding, crampon, and frame to conform and articulate independently with the terrain, providing unparalleled performance and the most confident footing available.
PackFlat Binding: Designed for backcountry snowboarding and climbing, features quick-lashing urethane straps that are fully field-replaceable with the included BC Utility Strap. Able to accommodate bigger snowboard boots, the bindings collapse flat for easy storage in your pack.
Spring-Loaded Suspension: Patented SLS keeps the snowshoe close underfoot for easy maneuvering and suspends your foot so it can move freely with its intended articulation. The suspension absorbs impact and lets your foot flex naturally side-to-side for a comfortable, stable position on traverses and uneven terrain. SLS enhances traction control too, as the flex provides deeper crampon penetration into the slope, especially on steep or off-angle terrain.
Holey-1 Toe Crampon: Uses shovel-shaped stainless steel prongs for better hold and sharp ice tips for superior bite on frozen slopes.
Infinity Decking: Designed to optimize surface area while also protecting the deck from abrasion. Integrates the deck below and inside the frame with a unique construction that eliminates frame wrap in a sleek, seamless design.
Heel Lift Bar: On steep climbs, calf muscles tire quickly and traction decreases when your foot matches the slope angle. The heel lift bar eases fatigue and ties directly into Advanced Aft Traction for grip.
Atlas BC Utility Strap: The included BC Utility Strap can be used to secure your snowshoes to your pack, lash together other gear, or carry as a backup strap for the field-replaceable PackFlat Binding or any other emergency situation.
ORDERING NOTES The Atlas Aspect snowshoes feature a unisex design and come in two sizes - 24" and 28". Using the sizing chart below, find your size based on your fully loaded weight
