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 series, a recreational women’s snowshoe designed for moderate terrain.
And finally, Atlas Snow-Shoe Company's famous patented Spring-Loaded Suspension has made its way to the first tier / entry-level model line, making the Elektra E8 series a high quality beginner snowshoe for women at the best value. Atlas Spring-Loaded Suspension keeps the snowshoe close underfoot for easy maneuvering and provides unmatched articulation. The no fuss, no hassle Strapp Binding System offers 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 8 Elektra Series Technological Features & Benefits:
Spring-Loaded™ Suspension (SLS) - Suspension allows natural articulation of the foot and deeper crampon penetration for extreme comfort and control.
6061 Aluminum V Frame - 6061 aluminum is proven and durable, and Atlas Snow-Shoe Company's proprietary V shape provides the strength needed to flex as part of the Spring-Loaded Suspension (SLS) system. 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 E8 Series 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.
