As a woman new to snowshoeing, you may not be aware of the benefits gained from a slightly narrower, tapered snowshoe frame to facilitate a more natural stride specific to women. And until now, this important feature was only found on more expensive models. But Atlas Snowshoes has made this feature available on the all-new Atlas Elektra 8 FRS series, a recreational beginner women’s snowshoe designed for moderate terrain.
Now featuring the all-new Atlas Snowshoes proprietary Free Rotating Suspension (FRS) system, the 2012 Atlas Elektra 8 FRS women's snowshoes are the ultimate high-quality beginner snowshoe at a superb value. The Free-Rotating Suspension system gives the binding the ideal amount of free rotation so that when you take a step, the tail stays low to the ground allowing snow to shed off the tail. The result is a very efficient stride, allowing you to snowshoe longer at peak performance levels. The built in Forward Limiter prevents the shoe from over rotating resulting in a smooth, free stride without shin bang.
The no-fuss, no hassle Strapp Binding System on the women's Atlas Elektra 8 snowshoes deliver excellent arch support and keeps the foot firmly held in place. Nytex decking is durable yet soft, for more quiet steps. Tempered steel Twin-Trac Toe Crampons and Heel-Cleats penetrate deep and ensure confidence when climbing and descending hills on moderate terrain.
Recommended Use: For meandering through the woods or open meadows on mostly easy to moderate terrain and for any woman looking to get into snowhoeing and may not be aware how much she is going to love it, these are a great first pair.
Atlas Elektra 8 FRS Snowshoes Features & Benefits:
Free-Rotating Suspension (FRS) - Suspension allows natural articulation of the foot and deeper crampon penetration for unmatched control and comfort. Free Rotation with Forward Limiter prevents snow from flicking up while preventing over-rotation that can cause shin bang.
Women Specific 6061 Aluminum V Frame - 6061 aluminum is proven and durable, and Atlas Snow-Shoe Company's proprietary V shape frame tracks straight in deep snow while the tapered, turned up tail pulls less snow and rolls more easily into each step. Biomechanically engineered specifically for the natural stride of women via the Atlas Elektra frame which has a more narrow and tapered geometry, ideally facilitating a woman's stride.
Atlas Strapp Bindings – Wraps around the foot for a secure connection to the snowshoe. Molded arch support increases lateral stiffness for more controlled steps. Uniloop design makes adjustment a cinch with the pull of a strap.
Tempered Steel Twin Trac Toe Crampon and Heel Cleat – Steel crampons stay sharp longer than aluminum and are more durable. Offer solid traction on moderate terrain.
The Atlas Elektra 8 Series FRS Snowshoe comes in two sizes - E823 & E827.
Using the sizing chart below, find your size based on your fully loaded weight
- meaning your fully clothed body weight plus the gear weight of typical items
you would carry in a backpack while snowshoeing for example.
