- Women's 360 Traction frames are engineered in conjunction with an expert in athletic biomechanics, resulting in a low-profile frame that saves weight and improves agility
- 360 Traction frames offer edge-to-edge grip, and split teeth of Torsion2 crampons distribute forces for continuous contact—delivering traction on any terrain
- 2-piece, independently conforming Women's PosiLock AT bindings create the most secure, freeze-resistant attachment from MSR for smaller footwear
- Modular flotation tails (sold separately) allow you the maneuverability of a smaller, primary snowshoe with the added, on-demand flotation of optional, 5-in. tails
- Add-on modular tails increase flotation for hikers up to 250 lbs. on 22 in. snowshoes and up to 270 lbs. on 25 in. snowshoes
- Ergo Televator heel lifts reduce fatigue and increase traction on the steeps with an ergonomic design that engages with a flick of a pole grip
- Narrow frames are ideal for women, those with a narrow gait or anyone seeking the lightest weight snowshoes possible
Max recommended load specification includes weight of hiker with gear.
