Tubbs White Mountaineer (2008/2009) Snowshoes

Ideal for tactical use or on challenging terrain, Tubbs White Mountaineer snowshoes are equipped to tackle technical hiking and mountaineering. Effectively and efficiently offering flotation and maneuverability, White Mountaineer snowshoes provide the high performance needed to tackle extreme adventure in demanding winter conditions. White Mountaineer snowshoes are available in three sizes. Measuring 8" x 25" each, White Mountaineer-25 snowshoes are suitable for a total weight (user and gear) of 120-200 pounds. At 9" x 30" per shoe, White Mountaineer-30 snowshoes are suitable for a total weight of 170-250 pounds and White Mountaineer-36 snowshoes (10" x 36" per shoe) are suitable for a total weight of 220-300 pounds. Comfort and maneuverability are key elements of backcountry performance and Tubbs tackles both concerns with the design of the bindings used in their snowshoes. White Mountaineer snowshoes utilize the innovative ActiveFit binding, for optimal fit and maximum crampon penetration in the snow base for efficient control and balance. A rotating toe cord enables the tail of the White Mountaineer snowshoes 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. A stable base and Control Wing design provides maximum support for your boot, securely locking the heel in place. The base is fully adjustable to accommodate varied boot widths. A built-in ActiveLift heel lifter lessens the distance that the bottom of your boot travels from the snowshoe deck during climbs. This design improves the performance of White Mountaineer snowshoes on steep slopes and helps to reduce the fatigue associated with elevation gains. The tapered frame of each White Mountaneer snowshoe is constructed of strong, lightweight Momentum SuperLite 6000 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, making White Mountaineer snowshoes extremely maneuverable. Incredibly durable, the White Mountaineer's ArcTec Plus decking material is performance tested to be effective even in temperatures as low as 40 degrees below 0 Fahrenheit (NOTE: A minimum base of 6"-8" of snow is suggested for usage in order to properly protect the integrity of the decking material.). White Mountaineer snowshoes are outfitted with the high performance Tubbs Viper/Python crampon system to maintain control and balance in snow and on ice. A crampon located under the ball of the foot employs ultra-long stainless steel teeth to provide optimal traction. Razor-sharp teeth in the toe serve as brakes and enhance performance during climbing and traversing. A stainless-steel heel crampon fixed centrally beneath your boot provides Whiteout snowshoes with constant, dependable traction. All Tubbs snowshoes are sold in pairs.  more
