TSL Smart

The BOA Fit System uses a dial-based mechanism to tighten the binding uniformly around your boot, eliminating the need to fumble with frozen straps or buckles. It provides a more precise, secure fit that you can easily adjust even while wearing thick winter gloves.

While the TSL Smart is designed primarily for casual hiking, it is equipped with traction bars and 10 spikes to handle packed snow and icy patches effectively. For extremely steep or technical mountaineering, however, you might prefer a more aggressive, specialized technical snowshoe.

The automatic heel risers lift your heel when you are climbing uphill, which keeps your foot in a more natural, horizontal position. This significantly reduces calf fatigue and strain on your Achilles tendon during long ascents.

The TSL Smart comes in three sizes—small, medium, and large—with an extendable design that helps distribute your weight across the snow. You should select your size based on your total weight, including any gear you plan to carry, to ensure the snowshoe provides enough floatation to keep you on top of the snow.

The Instinct binding is designed to be versatile and works well with most standard winter hiking boots. Because the BOA system provides a highly adjustable fit, it accommodates a wide range of boot shapes and sizes securely.
