Review on Tubbs Snowshoes Mountaineer W by John Wood

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Beautiful color, perfect functionality

These snowshoes are not only beautiful, but function fantastically! I needed to replace my tired 10-year old snowshoes, also Tubbs, with a newer pair meant for backcountry hiking. After reading many reviews, I went with Tubbs hoping they will last just as long as my new pair. The snowshoes arrive earlier than the initial shipping notification (win!), and were boxed nicely. The color is beautiful, and although I am not "girly-girl” I am loving the vibrant purple. The crampons are amazing, and the heel lift awesome. The heel lift is difficult to put back down, but I anticipate over time, it will become easier. Awesome product!

Pros
  • Traction: Anaconda Toe Crampon, Python Heel Crampon
Cons
  • Although the Tubbs Snowshoes Mountaineer W includes steel crampons for added traction, they may not be sufficient for extremely icy or rocky conditions, putting users at risk of slipping or falling.
