RetrospecDrifter Snowshoe for Men & Women - Aluminum Frames & a Double-Rachet Binding System - Lightweight All Terrain Snow Shoes

The snow shoes came in so fast. They are just like the picture the quality looks great but I will use them once it starts snowing in Colorado again. Once I use them I will return to revise again but for now they look just as promised.

I’ve only used these twice but think they are very easy to put on and walk in. I was looking for something for a beginner and these are just perfect. I do wish the manufacturer would include a picture or instructions about how they are to be worn. In the photo on Amazon it looks like the ratchets go on the outside of the foot, but in the video that is included it looks like the ratchet goes on the inside of the foot. As there is no marked left or right it’s possible it doesn’t matter, but I would think one-way would be better to wear than the other. For beginners a little extra information would be helpful. Overall perfect for what I wanted.

Easy to put on, easy to walk with even on the first use. We had a blast. Went out four different times over the long up north Michigan winter weekend. Will definitely use these every winter. Do make sure the boots you are wearing fit you well and that you have enough padding with your socks.

Great inexpensive shoe. Easy to use bindings, nice heel strap buckle. Heavy duty cleat for traction. A little heavy, but sturdy. Good for backcountry use.

I purchased 2 pair. One 21" for me and one 25" for my husband. The size/weight description on the web site does not agree to the tags on the snowshoes when they arrived. I will have to return the 21" as it looks more like a child's pair. I am also disappointed that the sizing goes from 25" to 30". There should be a 27".

These are so great! I’m a beginner when it comes to snowshoeing and wasn’t looking at spending a ton of money. These were a good price and I was very impressed when I used them after a large snowfall.

I ordered the 25" based on the description claiming good for weight up to 220#. Yet the tag on the 25" shoe itself says they're good for 110#-160#. This is quite a difference. For me it's not a simple matter to return anything. This is pretty disappointing.

Beware the item description, the max weights don’t match what is on the actual box and shoe tag. Order a size up from what it says on the description.

Snowshoeing is an interesting time. Sometimes you sink, sometimes you float. There never seems to be any rhyme or reason to how my body transits on the snow. I am a beginner, though, so maybe I just have no idea what I'm talking about. But what I do know, is that these snowshoes kept me active on over 100km of snowshoeing this winter, and have had no issues. I strapped them onto my feet, and waltzed through the wilderness like a modern day Christopher Columbus minus the colonization.

First pair broke within the hour, second pair broke within 30 seconds. Snowshoes could not hold the weight it advertises they can.I’m 165lbs so I got the 25inch shoes. As soon as I started walking, one of the side buttons/washers pop off. Sent them back, requested a new pair. Got the second pair, same exact piece breaks off even quicker. Sent back, requested a refund. Very unsatisfying & underwhelming product.You get what you pay for; I went to Atmosphere to buy my current pair. Louis Garneau is the brand, paid $169.99 + tax (on sale from $240) and I would review them as 4.5 stars. I guess some things just aren’t meant to buy on Amazon.Sent back 2 pairs, so don’t have the chance to leave a photo. However, take my word for it, these aren’t worth much. They caused me a hassle more than anything.

Used them twice this month: Once IN a trail and once to OPEN a new trail. They do what other snowshoes do but... these throw up the snow so my back -gets and- stays snowcovered. Also, them plastic bindings and ratchets got complete frozen and stiff. No way to adjust them while underway!Haven't tried the heel lift yet...

I haven't been on snowshoes since 1996 and then only once. easy to add and remove; immediately walking with no issues, didn't have to adjust the straps (4 hr walk), surfaces were packed snow and powered fresh snow, deep snow with crust, flat and slight hills. I do recommend using with hiking poles but that might only be because we always walk with them.

À la moindre petite résistance, la sangle ne sert plus. Résultat : la raquette est mal ajustée et la botte sort.
