Crescent Moon Gold 13 Women's Snowshoes

Product Description

Top pick and "best binding" rating in Backpacker Magazine's 2009 Fall/Winter Gear Guide!

Since 1997, Crescent Moon has focused on building the best binding on the market so you can focus on making your snowshoe experience the best it can be. The changes They've made to the SPL (single-pull-loop) binding include; enlarging the harness to capture more of your foot, adding a horizontal stabilizer beneath the footplate for greater control, and significantly changing the size of the stomp pad to increase both traction and comfort. All the Gold series shoes have thicker, abrasion resistant decking material which makes them more durable. And the features which have made Crescent Moon one of the most recognizable brands in the category, such as the unique tear drop shaped TIG welded frame and 3 claw traction system, remain the same. Crescent Moon’s unqiue 3 claw traction system which, in the Gold series are stainless steel (except for the Gold 12 running shoe) and finally,each TIG welded frame is brilliantly colored which makes Crescent Moon distinctly different from the rest of the market, both in the store and on the snow.

Crescent Moon was the first snowshoe manufacturer to design a women's specific model and series of shoes to accommodate the differences of a woman's stride. The Gold 13 features a frame which has been bent with a very steep nose and tapered tail to allow the shoes to pass by each other without changing the way you normally walk. With each step, the shoes will clear away from each other within the distance of your own natural stride. With the new 09/10 changes to the binding system you should expect an even greater snowshoe experience than ever before with more lateral stability and a huge stomp pad the size of a landing strip for your heel to touch down on and never stray from center. you’ll be flying up those hills.
