Komperdell Mountaineer Snowshoes - 27"

Great product, very pleased.

This is my first pair of snowshoes of my own. I've used them a few times. They were a great price on the closeout sale. I was very cautious about how to spend my money on snow shoes, but I loved these ones. No regrets!

great shoes, the bindings are fairly easy to use but might benefit from easier one handed tightening. Great for steeper terrain as they have very aggressive crampons both fore and aft. Good product!

Used for back-country travel in winter with deep snow. Great traction for those steep uphills.

The original leather bindings on my Faber 14x48 wood Hurons broke in 2010. I will never give up those shoes but live in a steeper, icier climate now, so I ordered the Komperdells for winter 2012. Due to snow drought, I was not able to use them until this past week. I can't speak for their longevity at this early date but can say I am in love with them. Took three tries to figure out how the bindings work since no instructions are included, which was frustrating, but now that I figured them out, they are fabulous--easy to cinch and never slip. Crampons are incredible. I could ice climb in these shoes, practically do on the rivers I've shoed so far. Being smaller than my old wooden Hurons, they lack the buoyancy so you sink a lot further but still I'm able to run easily on semi-packed trails, still can almost jog even in knee-deep snow. They're keepers!
