Product Highlights
Updated for 2009! Perfect for snowy backcountry day hiking, Tubbs Wilderness Women's snowshoes cater to female winter sports enthusiasts. By adding enhanced articulation and a new traction system, Tubbs has significantly increased the performance of Wilderness 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.
Wilderness Women’s snowshoes are available in two sizes. Measuring 8" x 21" each, Wilderness Women's-21 snowshoes are suitable for a total weight (user and gear) of 80-150 pounds. At 8" x 25" per shoe, Wilderness Women's-25 snowshoes are suitable for a total weight of 120-200 pounds.
Wilderness 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 Wilderness 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 180 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 Wilderness 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 Wilderness 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.
Wilderness Women’s snowshoes are outfitted with the new Cobra/Python crampon system. Helping to maintain constant, dependable traction in snow and on ice, the system consists of carbon steel toe/ball of the foot crampons and stainless-steel crampons fixed centrally beneath your boot heel. Together, the crampons provide constant, dependable traction.
Tubbs Wilderness Women’s snowshoes are sold in pairs.
