As you know I don’t usually post negative reviews, but these snowshoes are absolute garbage.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

I picked these Atlas Stratus Snowshoes up over the summer because the folks in the shop said the binding was really neat. They were wrong. On my first use of them I went backpacking. With a solid 5 foot snowpack  and a fresh foot overnight I went to tighten the snowshoe with the BOA binding and it snapped off. Miles from the trailhead I post-holed for hours because of a cheap plastic part<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

A BOA is an overly complex ratchet that uses a kevlar cord through a small piece of plastic. if you tighten the boa down it will snap the little piece of plastic rendering the snowshoe useless.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

My old Tubbs Altitude never have had a problem in 15 years of use. These broke literally the first time I used them.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Not a good place to have a broken snowshoe.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Also the rear strap is this little rubber thing which just kind of flaps around when using them.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

What more can be said about these garbage snowshoes? Oh yes, they cost $250, Sorel sized shoes don’t fit the binding and Atlas won’t publish negative reviews on their website. Believe me, I tried.<\/p>\n
