Features

PackFlat^TM Binding: Designed for backcountry snowboarding and climbing, the new PackFlat^TM binding features quicklashing urethane straps that are fully field-replaceable with the included BC Utility Strap. Able to accommodate bigger snowboard boots, the bindings collapse flat for easy storage in your pack.

Infinity Decking: Designed to optimize surface area while also protecting the deck from abrasion, Infinity Decking integrates the deck below and inside the frame with a unique construction that eliminates fram wrap in a sleep, seamless design.

Spring-Loaded^TM Suspension: An Atlas tenet from the begining, Atlas' patented Spring-Loaded^TM Suspension(SLS) keeps the snowshoe close underfoot for easy maneuvering and suspends your foot so it can move freely with its inteded articulation. The suspension absorbs impact and lets your foot flex naturally side-to-side for a comfortable, sttable position on traverses and uneven terrain. SLS enhances traction control too, as the flex provides deeper crampon penetration into the slope, especially on steep or off-angle terrain.

Heel Lift Bar: On steep climbs, calf muscles tire quickly and traction descreases when your foot matches the slope angle. The heel lift bar eases fatigue and ties directly into Advanced Aft Traction for grip.

Holey-1 Toe Crampon: Atlas' top-end traction, the Holey-1 uses shovel-shaped stainless steel prongs for better hold and sharp ice tips for superior bite on frozen slopes.

Atlas BC Utility Strap: Included with all atlas Backcountry Adventure snowshoes the BC Utility Strap can be used to secure your snowshoes to your pack, lash together other gear, or carry as a backup strap for the field-replaceable PackFlat^TM Binding or any other emergency situation.

ReactiV-Trac: Atlas' innovative ReactiV-Trac^TM construction integrates the classic flex of an elliptically-formed nose with the perimeter traction of a serrated t-frame. The snowshoes' stout SLS straps flex tthe system's tubular nose allowing the binding, crampon, and frame to conform and articulate independently with the terrain, providing unparalleled performance and the most confident footing available.
