Tubbs Mountaineer

The Mountaineer is specifically engineered for steep terrain. It features an aggressive dual-crampon system—the Anaconda toe crampon and Python heel crampon—which bites into hard-packed snow and ice to provide reliable traction where standard snowshoes would slip.

Yes, it is a game-changer for steep ascents. By engaging the 19-degree heel lift, you reduce the strain on your calves and Achilles tendons, allowing you to maintain a more natural, upright posture while climbing, which significantly reduces fatigue over long distances.

The ActiveFit 2.0 binding system is designed for ease of use in cold weather. It utilizes a friction-reducing TPU strap that is simple to tighten and release, even when you are wearing thick winter gloves or mittens.

These snowshoes have a recommended user weight capacity of up to 300 lbs. This capacity includes your body weight plus the weight of your pack and gear.

The R2 articulation system allows the snowshoe to pivot naturally underfoot. This design ensures the crampons maintain better contact with the snow surface when you are traversing slopes, providing increased stability and responsiveness compared to fixed-binding snowshoes.

Absolutely. The Pro-Step frame design is built to provide excellent flotation, keeping you on top of deep, unconsolidated snow rather than sinking in, which makes them a strong choice for off-piste backcountry exploration.
