Tubbs Venture Women's (2009/2010) Snowshoes (Pair)

Product Highlights

Updated for 2009! Delivering great performance at a budget-friendly price, Tubbs Venture Women’s snowshoes are ideal for female winter day hikers and recreational snowshoe enthusiasts. Enhanced articulation and a new traction system lend increased performance and value to Venture Women’s snowshoes.

Tubbs was the first manufacturer to offer snowshoes designed specifically for women, introducing women's specific bindings in 1998. Anatomic and ergonomic adjustments are made to each binding to provide the female snowshoe enthusiast with the fit, comfort and performance she deserves. Accounting for the fact that, on average, women have a shorter walking stride than men, Tubbs has tapered the tail on women's specific models to be narrower than the tails found on men's snowshoes, allowing the user to maintain a more natural stride.

Venture Women’s snowshoes are available in three sizes. Measuring 8" x 21" each, Venture Women’s-21 snowshoes are suitable for a total weight (user and gear) of 80-150 pounds. At 8" x 25" per shoe, Venture Women’s-25 snowshoes are suitable for a total weight of 120-200 pounds and Venture Women’s-30 snowshoes (9" x 30" per shoe) are suitable for a total weight of 170-250 pounds.

Venture Women’s snowshoes now utilize innovative Revolution Response II (RII) articulation to deliver comfort and maneuverability. This design provides shock-absorbing lateral flex, ensuring that your foot remains in a natural position even when you tackle side slope traverses. It also maximizes crampon penetration in the snow base, ensuring efficient control and balance. The rotation also enables the tail of the Venture Women’s snowshoes to drop away from the binding as you hike, effectively shedding snow, reducing resistance and minimizing the fatigue associated with carrying the unnecessary weight of clinging snow. The bases of the asymmetric ReAct bindings provide maximum support for your boot, securely locking the heel in place. The base is fully adjustable to accommodate varied boot widths.

The biomechanical aluminum frame of each Venture Women’s snowshoe is has a tapered tail and technical risen nose that enhance balance and provides excellent flotation. These ergonomic features allow you to maintain your normal walking stride, increasing the maneuverability of Wilderness Women’s snowshoes.

The SoftTec decking material of Venture Women’s snowshoes provides durable, lightweight flotation. NOTE: A minimum base of 6"-8" of snow is suggested for usage in order to properly protect the integrity of the decking material.

Helping to maintain constant, dependable traction in snow and on ice, a compact, carbon steel Talon toe crampon provides constant, dependable traction and a stainless steel crampon fixed centrally beneath your boot heel offers additional security.

Tubbs Venture Women’s snowshoes are sold in pairs.
