Redfeather Hike Control Bindings Snowshoe

I was looking for a set of snow shoes for my first time using them and these red feathers were great. I got up and down 3 Giant Mt, Cascade, and Porter in ADK without any issue. On steep declines or tight sections of trail, the 30 inch shoes seemed a bit hard to manuever. For the price awesome buy. My firned go a $54 set that threw snow all over himself, I did not have that issue. I'd like rachet bindings instead of the straps they chose for bindings because they did loosen after a while. He did not have that issue with his. Overall I'd get them again!

Nice in that they are lightweight and bindings fairly easy to use. Also, unlike traditional wooden snow shoes, one can walk and not step on adjacent snow shoe. The big disappointment is that one sinks in almost up to the knees in soft snow - almost easier to walk without them. I bought the 30" size, which is supposed to be for 175 to 225 lb weight. I am 157, and was carrying no pack.

I ordered a pair of these snowshoes for myself and my husband last year and they worked great. These are for my sister. We live in Eagle Colorado and get a lot of use out of them.The only issue is that apprently it doesn't matter what color you select you get a random color.... Last year I ordered black for my husband and received red. I chose red for my sister and received blue.

Maybe it was the sheer volume of light, fluffy snow (18"), but I was a little disappointed in the "float" of these shoes. In the past I have always used traditional wooden laced snowshoes and expected the same performance. I purposefully bought the larger 30" shoes to provide more float but I found they sunk more than I expected. They otherwise performed as expected. Bindings were easy to use even in very cold temps (down to -23). When conditions had changed I appreciated the crampons!

I HAVE NEVER BEEN ON SNOWSHOES, UNTIL NOW. I LIVE IN WISCONSIN AND WAS GLAD TO SEE A LOCAL MANUFACTURER.

Bought these in 2014. They have held up extremely well, so far. I have the 36" because I am quite large. They are not miracle workers, if you step into a soft snowbank, you will go to the bottom. They do work quite well, and have stayed in good shape despite all the rocks, and logs I climb over. The metal traction teeth on the bottom of mine are steel, many are aluminum. Given my weight, I am glad they are steel. They grip well and have not been bent or deformed. I usually wear these for a couple hours at a time, and they stay comfortable.

bought these online which was a big mistake. made it about 100 yards in a foot of fresh powder before the bindings of both shoes became stretched so that they were too loose for my boots. I wear a size 11 boot which is fairly wide and these bindings would not even come in contact with the toe of my boot at its tightest fitting.I would have noticed the fault in these snowshoes were I to visit a brick and mortar store. Some things are not meant to be purcased online.Went to a popular outdoor store in MT and bought a pair by the same manufacturer with a ratchet type binding for only a few dollars more. They work flawlessly. Do not buy the Redfeather Hike!

These are great snowshoes. I am a woman, and I bought these in case I wanted to carry a pack and do some back country hike in boarding, then I would still be in the weight range, whereas with the women's I would not. But I didn't think they were too big. They were easy to use, easy to put on and I never had to readjust them in the 4 hours I was hiking. I was on some really thin snow at points and they are no worse for the walking on gravel. I like them and would reccomend them.
