Snowshoes Tubbs "Alp-Flex" is unique, it can thus be run by the super-deep snow, no matter if it's the way the game trail or just walk through the snowed meadows - a great experience !!! The snowshoes I have from another provider (Sport-Conrad in Garmisch-Partenkirchen) cost but just as much, which was disadvantage the lack of weight, but no matter the snowshoes are offered at Amazon.com with a load capacity of 85Kg, myself lying much higher, but they carry me anyway and give me a secure hold, whether uphill to the climbing system which will make walking the walking uphill, or descend the mountains with super snappy stainless steel claws to bite firmly into the ground in the weight - whether in the underlying ice or gravel stony underground. Furthermore ... the stainless steel side-rails give a feeling to be safe anywhere, slide sideways is impossible, I could not imagine a snowshoe without these lateral stainless steel machines, because the aluminum frame of the other Hesteller slip determined on its side and forth ! By moving the footplate will go along with each step no snow thrown back up, you did not notice that the shoe on the snow-grinds as it's so easy! Binding ... as simple as it is, as hard as she holds-another plus for the snowshoe, because you can create it quickly and remove the boots. It's an incredibly beautiful Gehvergnügen to get there where the others do not get there (because they have no snowshoes Tubbs "Alp Flex"?) One can enjoy the eerie heady tranquility in the forest up in the mountains, where only the birds chirping. Although the price is a bit high, it is worthwhile in any case, to buy better snowshoes, I am very satisfied and can only recommend to everyone the sometimes slightly higher also want !!!
