Atlas Snowshoes: Women's 1223 Elektra 12 Series Snowshoe

Newly revised with a lighter and more responsive profile, the Atlas 1223 Elektra 12 Series women's snowshoe is an ideal floatation platform for extended hikes, winter backpacking and backcountry skiing and snowboarding. This season Atlas modified the components in both the women's and men's versions for improved responsiveness and stability without undermining the pure all-mountain performance that makes the Elektra 12 Series a top choice for winter backpackers and serious mountaineers. About the only thing that remains the same from previous years is the durable Duratek deck material and Atlas' patented Spring-Loaded suspension. Atlas used a new geometry in a ReactiV 7075 aluminum frame for a stiffer, more responsive chassis. The 7075 aluminum material remains the lightest that Atlas has ever used on a snowshoe, but by pairing this design with new components, this season's 1223 Elektra snowshoe is almost a half pound lighter than last year, and more energy saved on the trail is more energy you'll have to enjoy at the campsite or back at the mountain yurt. The 1223 also features a new Wrapp Pro binding that's specifically molded with foam padding in a left foot and right foot configuration. This creates a closer, more natural fit that's a few degrees warmer than bindings that are interchangeable between left and right feet. Beneath the Duratek deck you'll find a new Holey-1 toe crampon and stainless steel parallel traction rails for hold. Another nice feature is the waterproof webbing with positive-locking, low-friction roller buckles for enhanced security. The 1223 Elektra 12 is a great women's design for climbing, mountaineering, backpacking and winter trekking.
