Crescent Moon Gold 15 Women's Backcountry Snowshoes

Product Description

Top Pick and "Best Binding" rating in Backpacker Magazine's 2009 Fall/Winter Gear Guide!!

Since 1997, Crescent Moon begin_of_the_skype_highlighting     end_of_the_skype_highlighting 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.

The Gold 15, built for women and their gear weighing up to 200lbs, is uniquely designed for backcountry conditions. The tapered tail and steep nose design allows for a natural stride but with a surface area that supports you on or off the trail. New for the09/10 season is an enhanced binding system that provides even greater control and stability. Like all the Crescent Moon snowshoes, the teardrop shape is a more athletic design than any other brand available and will provide you with a better snowshoe experience because of it.
