Snowshoes on their own can be overkill for varied conditions, so the Kahtoola Mountain 28 snowshoe has a detachable eight point trail crampon that attaches to your boots for traction on icy surfaces & can then be clipped into the snowshoe deck for deep powder & soft snow. The Mountain 28 Snowshoe features a longer deck for deep powder & unpacked snow conditions. SKYHOOK Step-In technology gives the 8-point trail crampon the ability to step in & out of the snowshoe deck with ease. Clipping back into the snowshoes when they are needed is a simple matter of dropping the spikes into the slots & pushing down until they click in. This patented technology has been refined & tested in arctic conditions over the years making it very reliable. Semi-rigid side supports provide a secure customised fit to reduce heel drift & increase foot stability. The deck also features 3 width settings (narrow, regular, & wide) to provide a true custom fit. The Mountain 24 can be used with just about any footwear from lightweight boots to full on mountaineering boots sized 6 to 14. Wingspan adjustment is tool free & easy giving you a custom fit to your favourite winter footwear. All adjustment buckles & attachments are easy to use, even when wearing gloves.
