“Bindings a potential drawback”

“The boot strap bindings are a very soft and flexible rubber, which I am holding my breath to see how they stand up to use in -35 below zero temps and then warm indoor storage. My other pairs of snowshoes all have a more rigid, thick plastic binding that secure the boot to the snowshoe. The rest of the snowshoe is really well-made and has handled beautifully on packed trails with minimial snow. The design is definitely for trail use and going off trail renders them useless even for a user that is well under 175 pounds in full winter gear.”
