Suspension for everyone. The Elektra 9 Series snowshoes use Spring-Loaded Suspension for natural articulation of the foot over uneven and sidehill terrain, flexing the women's-specific shape of the 6061 aluminum Elektra V-frame. With each step, SLS gives the All-Trac toe crampon deeper purchase, and the new tempered steel Tri-Cleat offers 360° traction under your heel. The flexible Wrapp women's bindings tighten easily and cradle the foot securely. Even in the dead cold of winter, the Nytex decking is both flexible and durable.Whether you're new to snowshoeing, or looking for Atlas technology at a great value, the Elektra 9 Series are built to explore winter's rolling terrain.

Comments about Atlas Atlas Elektra 9 Series Snowshoes for Women (pair):
These are great light-weight all terrain snowshoes. They fasten very tightly to your shoe and are easy to take on/off. The only con is the heel strap--you have to be very diligent about placing it high up on your shoe before tightening it or else it'll come off. If they made the strap be able to move from its pivot point I would give it 5 stars, but unless that change is made, I'm sticking to four. Good buy though.
