Women's FLEX ALP Snowshoe

Description

Winner of the Outside Magazine 2010 Gear of the Year award, the FLEX ALP represents true innovation. The patented FLEX Tail™ design, tested by the Colorado State University Health and Exercise Department, reduces stress on joints in the lower leg, making long day trips on arduous terrain more comfortable. Designed to tackle even the most treacherous terrain, the FLEX ALP is outfitted with micro-serrated 3D-curved traction rails and the Active Lift™ heel lift for maximum grip and seamless ascents.

Dimensionnement

Dans des conditions de neige variables ou sur la neige compectée, les raquettes FLEX conviennent à tous les poids. Dans des conditions de neige poudreuse, le modéle pour femmes est optimal lorsque le poids de l'utilisateur ne dépasse pas 165 lbs.

Caractéristiques

ActiveLift Heel Lift

: ActiveLift™ heel lift reduces calf fatigue and Achilles tendon strain on steep ascents.

FLEX Tail

: The ergonomically and biomechanically designed FLEX Tail absorbs shock from heel strike, reducing the amount of stress on your joints and allowing you to snowshoe farther, longer and with less stress on your body.

Torsion Deck

: Tubbs’ advanced Torsion Deck™ design adapts to variable snow conditions underfoot. The decks allow torsional articulation throughout the body of the snowshoe, enhancing traction, biomechanics and comfort on uneven terrain.

Rotating Toe Cord - Rotation Limiter

: Rotating Toe Cord design enables the tail of the snowshoe to drop and snow to shed off the tail, reducing cardio-respiratory strain by 7%. The underfoot pivot point also allows the toe traction teeth to bite deeply into the snow when weighted. A rotation limiter prevents over-rotation and shin bang.

ActiveFLEX Binding

: Gender specific, asymmetric ActiveFLEX™ binding featuring patented Control Wings™ provides lightweight control, support, comfort and ease of use. Men’s binding fits up to size 13 boots; women’s size 5- 11.

ALP Traction Rails

: Micro-serrated 3D curved Traction Rails and two additional tail traction elements ensure superior side-hill grip on hard to icy conditions, while progressive Snow Brakes aid in downhill braking.

Women's-Specific Design

: Tubbs was the first company to manufacture women's-specific snowshoes, and we remain committed with women's-specific versions of ever model. Tubbs women's-specific snowshoes are lighter in weight, feature ergonomically tapered frame shapes for ease of stride, and offer custom fit women's-specific bindings sized and scaled from a woman's boot in sizes 5-11.
