Retrospec Drifter Snowshoes for Women & Men - Lightweight Aluminum Frame Snow Shoes with Double Ratchet Binding System, Heel Lifts & Carry Bag for All Terrain Hiking & Winter Sports

With this recent winter weather and ice, we had a chance to get these out and use them. We found that they were very easy to get on and light weight. The clasps held beautifully and were easy to adjust. The heel lift made it very easy to walk in and they really made you more stable and sure footed in the icy snow. My husband didn't want a pair so he had to put up with breaking through the snow and ice and slipping as we walked down our hill side drive way. They sure made walking in winter weather more enjoyable. Recommend.

Thease are awesome and built like tanks. They fit well and seem to work as advertised. We didn't get as much snow this year to really give them the best try. But with what there was they work. The heal riser is a little uncomfortable, but fine with good stiff snow boot. I worry about the riser retention system. Seems like it will wear out quick. The ratchet straps are fantastic to get the perfect fit.

Pleasantly surprised at the quality. After seeing other brands over $200, was not expecting much. Well made, easy on and off, carry bag was a plus. Really glad I purchased them and have no issues or problems using them.

My husband bought these for me. First time snow shoeing and let me tell ya I got a workout. Very easy to get used to and put on and off. Well worth getting, he ordered a pair for himself to. I like the claws on the bottom as it has great traction. I will use everyday on his trail he made for us to use.

Have used them 3 times so far work well. ratchet tight ing a little questionable. May not last long

Great price, easy to use, lightweight. I am a casual snowshoer and I really loved these. So much better and easier to use than my old pair. One time I did get a little bit of ice stuck underneath but it did not slow me down.

UPDATED: I got these to keep on my snowmobile because I take my sled (snowmobile) out to where I hunt coyotes and such. Easy to put on and takeoff. Decent support on average snow. Not so much in deep powder. Not bad on crust as far as slipping and sliding. But I swear they are the loudest snow shoes out there. Unless you’re on absolute powder, you’re making some serious noise. So useless for hunting. At least I can hand them off to my wife or one of her friends for winter hiking. I’ll stick with my traditional tennis rackets. They don’t look as cool, but they’re better in powder and don’t make any noise. Update. No support in deep powder. 9 x 30 shoes are just not enough. In wet snow, these shoes are absolutely useless. Painful in fact. While I love the cleats for gripping ice, after you’re on wet snow for any amount of time, you’re walking on 6 inches of ice balls. Last time out I was having to knock my shoes against trees, every 15 or 20 steps just to clear the ice off of the cleats. Extremely annoying. It’s a really good concept, but it’s very poor for anyone who’s looking to choose these shoes for anything serious in deep or wet snow. I highly recommend you find some old-fashioned tennis rackets or military surplus shoes instead.

I have never had need of snow shoes before this winter. I take my dogs on long walks in the woods and due to the unusually heavy snowfall this year. It was all but impossible. The snow shoes were easy too fit and easy to get used to even walking on trails in the woods. So far these have held up to several miles of rugged terrain. I would definitely buy them again or recommend them to a friend.

I bought these snowshoes for a recent trip to Lapland, and they were absolutely perfect. They performed brilliantly in the deep snow, giving great grip and keeping me steady the whole time. For the price, they are an absolute bargain compared to renting gear there. Easy to put on, lightweight, and very sturdy—highly recommend!

Lätt att montera, och funkar som en dröm på snö

First time snowshoer, they were easy to put on and worked well this winter for me. Lightweight and the bag is really handy. Would recommend.

Perfect! Very light not hard to carry!
