Crescent Moon Women’s Trail Snowshoes – Gold 13 (Teal)

Brand: Crescent Moon

Color: Teal

Features:

• 24.5″ x 8.5″, 3.9lbs per pair, recommended for snowshoers up to 165lbs, designed for women’s shorter, more narrow stride. Best on packed snow and trail conditions
• BINDING: The Crescent Moon SPL (Single Pull Loop) binding has been recognized as the best binding year after year by the media, testers and customers alike.The all foot encompassing binding system is made of a flexible polymer which wraps around your foot and provides excellent support and comfort and will not come out of adjustment. With a simple pull of the loop on top of the binding the entire harness system is tightened – or loosened – with one hand – even with gloves on! The heel mechanism is as simple as ratcheting forward to the perfect setting. It is a quick and easy entry and exit. Features spring loaded cam and ratchet buckles.
• Platform: Our Tear Drop shaped frame provides outstanding maneuverability without loss of floatation. This unique shape allows you to walk and run naturally without changing your stride or waddling. The frames are made with 6063 aircraft grade aluminum tubing and tig welded for strength. The decking is lightweight, durable, highly abrasion resistent, and quiet, noticeably different from plastic snowshoes.
• Traction: Aggressive 3 crampon stainless steel traction system provides outstanding grip in all terrains, but particularly in hard pack and icy conditions, and on climbs and traverses. Crescent Moon is the only snowshoe to have a toe claw which is important for digging in when climbing hills or mountains and helps with push-off when hiking or running.
• Made in Boulder, CO, USA using environmentally considerate manufacturing processes and components. Our snowshoes are 95% recyclable through our take back program. Limited lifetime warranty.

Details: Product Description

Crescent Moon has been making its award winning line of snowshoes for 20 years in Boulder, CO. The Gold 13 is the company’s most popular women’s snowshoe recommended for trails and rolling terrain and women, or smaller men, up to 165lbs. The Women’s Trail Gold 13 features an extremely easy binding system that works in perfect harmony with the tear drop shaped platform and allows women to walk with your feet at a natural and comfortable distance apart from each other, unlike traditionally shaped snowshoes which can cause hip flexor irritation. The company’s reputation is based on its anatomically shaped binding system, which adjusts easily with a single pull and a sliding ratchet buckle. The ratcheting heel buckle makes the entire enclosure “lock” down and provides an incomparable fit and feel for outstanding performance on and off trails, but particularly secure on steep and icy terrain, when you really need it. The binding equally distributes the tension across your entire foot eliminating hot spots and points of discomfort. The straps will not come out of adjustment because they don’t freeze and expand like nylon webbing does. Aggressive 3 claw stainless steel traction under the ball of your foot, heel and toe provides outstanding grip in all terrains. Crescent Moon is the only snowshoe to have a toe claw which is important for digging in when climbing hills or mountains and helps with push-off when hiking or running. Crescent Moon’s products are made with recycled aluminum and our production facility uses wind powered energy to run our operation.

Crescent Moon was the first manufacturer to design a series of snowshoes made specifically to accommodate a woman’s stride, which is generally shorter and narrower than a man’s. The Crescent Moon Gold 13 women’s snowshoes are no exception, with a steep nose and exaggerated teardrop-shaped tail that keeps you striding like normal. Because the shoes “clear” away from each other, walking in the Gold 13s feels like hiking with no snowshoes at all–a must for long snowshoe trips. The Gold 13s boast a TIG-welded, powder-coated aluminum frame that’s strong and durable, along with a stainless-steel claw traction system that provides a solid bite in slippery conditions. The snowshoe’s outstanding single pull loop (SPL) adjustable binding, meanwhile, is comfortable and supportive, with a cam-locking buckle heel and secure gel polymer stirrups. Recommended for women up to 165 pounds in all conditions, the Gold 13 is incredibly maneuverable and easy to use on your favorite trail. The Gold 13 snowshoes measures 26 by 8 inches each, weigh 3.9 pounds total, and are backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
Key Features of Crescent Moon Snowshoes: Binding The most important part of a snowshoe is the binding. It should be easy and intuitive to use, provide support, be comfortable under all conditions, and efficiently transfer your energy to the traction system with each step you take. That’s why Crescent Moon invented the SPL (single-pull-loop) adjustable binding. You’ll get the response and control you need and get a great sense of confidence to go up or down any trail with a pair of Crescent Moon snowshoes.
The SPL binding is the easiest in/out binding on the market: simply place your foot in the stirrup and pull up (and getting out is just as simple). The binding holds your entire foot with equal tension throughout, resulting in better support and comfort toe to heel with side to side stability for significantly better performance than “open-toed” binding designs. This simple design is the result of extensive testing and years of use by Crescent Moon customers from around the world.
Platform (Frame and Decking) To ensure optimal flotation, Crescent Moon Snowshoes are balanced to distribute your body weight across the entire shoe. The design also makes them easier to pull out of the snow, so you don’t have to work as hard to walk, hike, or climb. The unique te
