I am newbie in the field of snowshoers, but have several years of experience with ski touring, etc. My first tour I graduated with cheap no-name snowshoes a discounter. Although the bond held at crossings snowshoes slip always off. Before the second tour I ordered then the Flex Alp 24 Tubbs and I regretted buying a second. The shoes are easy to put on and fasten off, and the bond holds bombproof. The integrated climbing aid can be folded up with the ends of the poles and slipping at crossings is a thing of the past. The slipping while walking berab is reliably prevented by the claws. At our next tour, my wife had the ladies' model Tubbs and is equally enthusiastic.
