They Fold!
"...Nothing prepared me for the ingenuity and creativity these snowshoes represent." -Phillip Gary Smith Snowshoe Magazine (commenting on early prototypes)
SnowXu™ foldables are the easiest way to go hiking in the snow.
SnowXu™ foldables are perfect for a wide range of hikes, trails and winter conditions. Our unique patented design is lightweight and compact for easy access, use and storage. It is a great choice for fun and safety. Used by recreational snowshoers, hunters, rescue workers, snowboarders, snowmobilers and more…
So compact, SnowXu™ foldables fit in a small drawstring bag. They can be left in the trunk of your car or wherever its most convenient so that you stay prepared. SnowXu™ brand snowshoes can be handy whenever and wherever the snow falls.
Sometimes you don't know whether you will need snowshoes on your hike. How deep is the snow at the top of the hill? Will the crust hold? Is it worth hauling bulky snowshoes for your whole group? Now you don't have to think about it: they're so compact, you'll just take them. Ever want to bring snowshoes for your whole group or family? Now you can fit 4+ sets on 1 pack.
Specs:
- Lightweight: <2 lbs, per snowshoe
- Recommended for snowshoers up to 250lbs
- Compact: 2.7"x 4.5"x 33" (folded pair nested in bag)
- Snow flotation: 182 in^2 (comparable or better than Atlas 1025/1225 and MSR Ascent 25)
- Traction: Toe Cleat + Unique X shaped heel cleat. RapidTraction system: Toe cleat stays planted in the snow even as your boot flexes. Prevents breakaway during stride
- Strong aircraft aluminum frame
- Easy on and off: Finally a truly simple "1-buckle" binding for secure fastening to any footwear. Binding collapses completely to wrap around snowshoe when folded.
- Improved stride vs. conventional snowshoes: Our patented X frame has a "waist" which gives better clearance as you plant one foot in front of the other.
- Snowshoes fit men and women

FAQ
-
Yes they will! One of the goals with our binding design was to allow it to fit just about any boot someone could conceivably use. The straps are adjustable to make them long enough to fit a snowboard boot and the body of the binding opens right up so they will fit.
