FRAMES & DECKING

The durable and lightweight Momentum Superlight 6000 series aluminum frame is easily maneuverable, and gender-specific frame shapes accommodate men’s- and women’s-specific gaits.

The innovative, upturned tail of the aluminum Fit-Step™ frame provides biomechanical benefits, reducing muscular skeletal impact on hip, knee and ankle joints by 10%.

The ultra-durable 6000 series Western Frame design optimizes flotation and stability in powder snow conditions with men’s- and women’s-specific designs.

ArcTec+® decking is not only puncture and abrasion-resistant to -40°F, but it is manufactured with a zero-scrap policy, as all waste is fully reground and reused in the manufacturing process.

SoftTec decking provides durable, lightweight flotation and has a smooth, soft texture.

The patented FLEX Tail™ technology allows the snowshoe to roll more naturally underfoot from heel strike to toe off. The FLEX Tail absorbs shock from the initial heel strike, reducing the amount of stress on ankles, knees and hips.

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

The patented Soft Strike™ zone works with the FLEX Tail™ to absorb shock and reduce stress on joints and muscles. Soft Strike also aids in weighted traction under the heel. Finally, Soft Strike makes for a quieter overall experience while snowshoeing.

ARTICULATION SYSTEMS

Energy efficient and effective, R2 delivers shock-absorbing lateral flex and quick side slope responsiveness to maintain a natural foot posi-tion in all conditions. Full step rotation allows the tail of the snowshoe to drop, shedding snow and allowing the toe crampon to bite deeply.

The Rotating Toe Cord design enables the tail of the snowshoe to drop, shedding snow and reducing cardio-respiratory strain by 7%, while a Rotation Limiter prevents over-rotation.

The Rotating Toe Cord design enables the tail of the snowshoe to drop, shedding snow off the tail and reducing cardio-respiratory strain by 7%. The underfoot pivot point also allows the teeth on the toe traction to bite deeply into the snow when weighted.

The Fixed Toe Cord pivot system is efficient for flat and rolling terrain with packed snow conditions, and it keeps the snowshoe close to the foot for quick turnover.

ROTATION LIMITER

TRACTION

The razor-sharp, carbon steel Anaconda™ toe crampon has eight sharp teeth that provide constant contact and penetration in all types of terrain.

The carbon steel Cobra™ toe crampon located under the ball of the foot provides constant contact in variable snow conditions, while its jagged tooth construction improves grip on packed snow and ice.

The compact, carbon steel Talon™ toe crampon provides constant contact on all types of terrain and engages the slope more quickly with the Fit-Step™ frame shape.

Our Recreational series of carbon steel toe and heel crampons feature front and rear braking teeth for a secure grip uphill, downhill and side-hill in packed snow conditions.

The aggressive Python heel crampon, centered under the boot, delivers enhanced downhill braking traction.

The U-Grip heel crampon’s unique micro-serrated tooth design gives you supreme weighted traction under your heel.

The Viper™ 2.0 carbon steel toe crampon’s jagged tooth construction maximizes weighted traction and responsiveness. The aggressive tangs in the toe crampon are concave to give the crampon a scooping func-tion in soft snow.

The 3D-Curved Traction Rails ensure superior side-hill grip in hard-packed and icy conditions. The curved shape helps prevent fore-aft slippage on steeper terrain by avoiding the “saw blade” effect. The Traction Rails are curved up at the tip to provide traction during toe off without causing you to trip.

Designed to make steep ascents easier, the ActiveLift™ heel lift reduces calf fatigue and Achilles tendon strain when climbing. The heel lift can be easily pulled up and down with the handle of your snowshoe pole. The 19° Backcountry heel lift is ideal for extreme steeps, while the 16° Day Hiking version is designed for moderate terrain.

Tubbs was the first company to manufacture women’s-specific snowshoes, and we remain committed with women’s-specific versions of every 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 last in sizes 5-11.


The reasons hikers, climbers, back-country snowboarders and backpack-ers want to snowshoe – access to their favorite trails in winter, enjoying the peacefulness of snow-covered terrain, and connecting with nature.

As easy as walking, snowshoeing hasattracted record numbers of consum-ers. Winter Trail Walking is the best way to get out and discover your local parks, golf courses and frozen lakes.
