A backcountry snowshoe for fast and light travel, the Crescent Moon Gold 10 features extra traversing claws for greater grip. The hardened stainless steel crampons provide deeper biting action. Combined with lighter decking materials, a TIG-welded frame, and increased surface area, the Gold 10 can handle tough terrain. The single-pull binding and teardrip shape deliver user ease and comfort. Molded polyurethane foot-glove binding with SPL (single pull loop) optimizes comfort and support. Toe claw provides purchase on steep frozen snow and ice. Hypalon straps will not freeze or expand, staying tight all day long. Ratchet strap snugs your heel into place. Six rivets secure the binding strap to the frame, providing redundant durability. TIG-welded, aircraft-grade 6063 aluminum tubing for greater strength and long-lasting performance. Proprietary TGS (the good stuff) decking material is stable and durable in all snow conditions. Stainless steel three-claw traction. Additional traversing claws for greater grip. Teardrop shape allows a more natural stride and better maneuverability. Made without PVC. Made in the USA using wind-powered energy; waste materials recycled.
