Product Description

USA Made precision snowshoe designed for long term use.

Meshing smart technology with an all-around design, the Redfeather Hike snowshoes are ideal for recreational use. The snowshoes feature TX35 Ripstop decks, a superior puncture- and abrasion-resistant material that stays soft in sub-zero temperatures. The shoes also include Redfeather's Control bindings, a rugged, secure binding with a solid polymer heel plate, semi-rigid injection-molded polyurethane toe and heel frames, and quick-adjust nylon webbing. The bindings not only offer superior lateral support, but they're extremely secure thanks to the webbing and flexible urethane heel straps, which stretch tightly to secure the heel of the boot. And to maximize mobility and speed, the Hike shoes include Live-Action Hinges that lift the tail of the shoe from the snow with every step.

Other features include a SureGrip crampon system with stainless-steel front and rear crampons; a 6000 series aluminum frame with a Western round tail for maximum flotation; and a powder coating to shed snow and ice. The Hike snowshoes are available in several sizes.

About Redfeather Snowshoes
Redfeather Snowshoes was founded in 1988 by a snowbound triathlete who had the idea of designing a better snowshoe that would allow racers to train during the snowy Colorado winter months. His original design became the legendary Redfeather Redtail, the lightweight aluminum V-tail snowshoe that transformed snowshoeing from an awkward mode of transportation into the modern sport that we all know today. Located in La Crosse, Wisconsin, Redfeather continues to strive for technical innovation, performance, and unsurpassed quality in all of its snowshoes.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great USA made product and binding, December 20, 2011

This review is from: Redfeather Hike Control Bindings Snowshoe (Sports)
This is a great improvement on last years product, we have some of the older HIKE shoes and they look plain compared to these.

The bindings are great, the strap system is still the best way to snowshoe, no ratchets to break or strip. Once it is set it is a easy fit every time.

The decks are "NOT PLASTIC" but a softer material that is cross weaved and doesn't get hard when it is cold.

Red frame is now powder coated, this may not be a feature but more of a cosmetic upgrade, the bottom of the shoe has a replaceable crampon, it is made of stainless steel and powder coated so snow will not stick to it. All around a very solid performer at a very fair price and long list of features.

These cost a bit more than the China plastic ratchet models but after your second or third season you will see why...
