Thanks to a ridiculously light, stiff, and responsive frame, the Atlas 12 Series Snowshoes are ready for powdery-soft or icy-steep mountain attacks. The ReactiV aluminum frame renews your snowshoeing mantra with each step light as a feather, strong as an ox. The bindings are specifically right-and left-foot molded with flexible arch supports, so your feet get a custom fit and you get crazy control. Spring-Loaded Suspension allows for natural foot movement. Whether you are packing down powder or charging up icy slopes, the sharp crampon prongs and traction rails under your feet keep you on track. On steep slopes, engage the heel lift bar for easier climbing.

Product Reviews

Outstanding Backcountry Snowshoe
The new 1225 snowshoe is a huge improvement over previous 12 and 10 series models. They are light, stable and very manueverable. The new rail geometry causes the snowshoe to track perfectly straight with little or no stepping on the inside rails. The new crampon design results in outstanding traction on steep ascents and in any snow condition including ice. Traction comes with a price: the snowshoe is very unforgiving during decents on firm snow. If you’re spacing out and the crampons bite, you’re eating snow. Traction is also outstanding on steep traverses on firm snow, but in soft snow it’s a bit dicey. The binding is easy to use, fits plastic mountaineering boots and holds the heel perfectly straight. In short, the 12 series snowshoes are an excellent backcountry tool.

These things are great. They are very comfortable and you almost forget they are on. Of course, walking effortlessly across deep powder reminds you that it is possible to track in places you would never get without them. I climbed steep inclines easily.
