Product Highlights
The Tubbs Xplore Snowshoe Starter Kit has everything a man needs to get started in the growing sport of snowshoeing. Available in two sizes, the kit includes a pair of Xplore snowshoes, a pair of lightweight, adjustable snowshoe poles and a pair of protective gaiters.
The kit is available in two offerings, each with a different sized pair of snowshoes. The pair of snowshoes in the Xplore Snowshoe Starter Kit-25 is suitable for a total weight (user and gear) of 120-200 pounds. The pair of snowshoes in the Xplore Snowshoe Starter Kit-30 is suitable for a total weight of 170-250 pounds.
Comfort and maneuverability are key elements of winter performance and Tubbs tackles both concerns with the design of the bindings used in their snowshoes. Xplore snowshoes utilize the easy-to-use Tubbs Quick Fit Binding. Rigid Control Wings found on both the medial and lateral sides of the binding keep your boot centered in the harness for maximum responsiveness. Rotating flexibility in the integrated toe cord allows your boot to pivot independently of the frame of the Xplore snowshoe, maximizing the penetration of the crampon in the snow base. The rotation also enables the tail 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 tapered frame of each Xplore snowshoe is constructed of sturdy 6000 series aluminum. The tapered tail and technical rise of the nose of the frame enhance balance and provide excellent flotation. These ergonomic features allow you to maintain your normal walking stride, increasing the maneuverability of Xplore snowshoes. Durable, lightweight and waterproof, DuraLight Decking provides dependable 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.). Xplore snowshoes are outfitted with carbon steel toe and heel crampons that provide constant, dependable traction whether you're moving in an uphill, downhill or side hill direction.
The pair of Tubbs lightweight, 2-part adjustable (105-130 cm), aluminum snowshoe poles lends security and stability on any and all types of terrain. By incorporating arm movements into your snowshoeing activities, you can turn your adventure into a total body fitness workout. The poles also include a powder basket and nylon web straps.
Water resistant, breathable nylon gaiters allow you to enjoy your outdoor experience by keeping snow and moisture from finding its way into your boots. Stay dry all day long!
