Buy Crescent Moon Gold 10 Backcountry Snowshoes - Candy Apple RedCrescent Moon Gold 10 Backcountry Snowshoes - Candy Apple Red Product Description:
- 32" x 10", 4.9lbs per pair, recommended for snowshoers up to 225lbs, designed for backcountry snowshoeing
- Platform: Our Tear Drop shaped frame provides outstanding maneuverability without loss of floatation. This unique shape allows you to walk and run naturally without changing your stride or waddling. The frames are made with 6063 aircraft grade aluminum tubing and tig welded for strength. The decking is lightweight, durable, highly abrasion resistant, and quiet, noticeably different from plastic snowshoes.
- Traction: Aggressive 3 crampon stainless steel traction system provides outstanding grip in all terrains, but particularly in hard pack and icy conditions, and on climbs and traverses. Crescent Moon is the only snowshoe to have a toe claw which is important for digging in when climbing hills or mountains and helps with push-off when hiking or running.
- Made in Boulder, CO, USA using environmentally considerate manufacturing processes and components. Our snowshoes are 95% recyclable through our take back program. Limited lifetime warranty.
- BINDING: The Crescent Moon SPL (Single Pull Loop) binding has been recognized as the best binding year after year by the media, testers and customers alike. The all foot encompassing binding system is made of a flexible polymer which wraps around your foot and provides excellent support and comfort and will not come out of adjustment. With a simple pull of the loop on top of the binding the entire harness system is tightened - or loosened - with one hand - even with gloves on! The heel mechanism is as simple as ratcheting forward to the perfect setting. It is a quick and easy entry and exit. Features spring loaded cam and ratchet buckles. The Gold 10's have the larger version of our standard SPL binding and fits sizes 10 to 15 including pack boots and most snowboard boots.
Product Description
* BINDING: The Crescent Moon SPL (Single Pull Loop) binding has been recognized as the best binding year after year by the media, testers and customers alike. The all foot encompassing binding system is made of a flexible polymer which wraps around your foot and provides excellent support and comfort and will not come out of adjustment. With a simple pull of the loop on top of the binding the entire harness system is tightened – or loosened – with one hand - even with gloves on! The heel mechanism is as simple as ratcheting forward to the perfect setting. It is a quick and easy entry and exit. Features spring loaded cam and ratchet buckles. The Gold 10's have the larger version of our standard SPL binding and fits sizes 10 to 15 including pack boots and most snowboard boots. * PLATFORM: Our Tear Drop shaped frame provides outstanding maneuverability without loss of floatation. This unique shape allows you to walk and run naturally without changing your stride or waddling. The frames are made with 6063 aircraft grade aluminum tubing and tig welded for strength. The decking is lightweight, durable, highly abrasion resistent, and quiet, noticeably different from plastic snowshoes. * TRACTION: Aggressive 3 crampon stainless steel traction system with additional traversing crampons provides outstanding grip in all terrains, but particularly in hard pack and icy conditions, and on climbs and traverses. Crescent Moon's unique toe claw provides something other snowshoes don't; front point, ice grabbing, toe-first traction; the design is intuitive and allows your foot to begin its natural and complete rotation with every step - whether you're walking, running, or climbing, you use your toes first - why other's don't make their snowshoes with toe crampons is a mystery, but we believe you'll have a better snowshoe experience if you use equipment which allows you to move naturally. No mystery there! * Made in Boulder, CO, USA using environmentally considerate manufacturing processes and components. Our snowshoes are 95% recyclable through our take back program. Limited lifetime warranty. *The Gold 10 Backcountry snowshoe by Crescent Moon is designed for off, or on-trail exploration. The platform provides excellent flotation but with the unique, tear drop shaped frame they are more maneuverable and athletic than traditionally shaped shoes for the perfect marriage of form and function. The Gold 10s have been built with a larger version of the award winning SPL binding to accommodate bigger sized footwear up to size 15. The Gold 10's also have an additional set of ice-grabbing stainless steel traversing claws mounted on the bottom of the binding strap to provide outstanding traction on steep terrain. Whether you are winter camping or looking for those secret couloirs to ride or shoe down, the Gold 10's are an outstanding choice for the backcountry. Make your outdoor experience the best it can be with a pair of Crescent Moons.

I have many types and brands of snowshoes from traditional ash wood and rawhide to the new aluminum style with synthetic decking. Crescent Moon makes the best of the modern design snowshoe. The binding system on the Gold series is very easy to adjust and use, when you have cold fingers. Your boot does not slip out of the binding like my Atlas and Tubbs snowshoes. They are well constructed with welded frames. Many of the lesser brands do not do this. The fit and finish shows their high quality standards. They provide good flotation on fluffy snow and the crampons bite well on hardpack.Another PLUS is that Crescent Moon snowshoes are made by an innovative company located in Colorado, USA. I also purchased a pair of Crescent Moon Gold 9s for my wife. She loves them. The Gold series snowshoes also have a lifetime warranty. I highly recommend their products!!!

The bindings are easy on, easy off. And they stay on your feet. The shoes themselves are sturdy enough to stand up to practically anything. They look good. The crampons can get you up anything and down anything. I've seen country I never would have seen because of these snowshoes. They're made in Colorado at a plant that operates solely on wind power. I love them.

I've been very pleased with these snowshoes so far. This is the first season I've had them, and so far I've put about 30 miles on them under varying conditions, though nothing too extreme.The construction seems to be good. Everything looked and felt great when the snowshoes arrived, and everything appears to be holding up without issue so far. I've been very pleased with the flotation of these shoes, finding them to be functional even in very fresh powder. The crampons provide good traction under any typical circumstances (though I haven't done any real "climbing" in these shoes). I also enjoy the fixed bindings, though I know some people can't stand that style. Personally, I think the fixed bindings enhance the flotation, and concerns that they "throw snow" on the back of your legs are overblown.My favorite aspect of these shoes is how easy the bindings are to manipulate, even with my thickest gloves on. My wife also bought a pair of snowshoes (Tubbs) at the same time that I purchased these, and though she loves her shoes, there is no contest when it comes to getting our shoes on and off. The Crescent Moon bindings are fast and easy. At the start of the trail I usually have my shoes on and end up standing around for a couple of minutes while my wife is adjusting her bindings.Overall I'd say this is a solid pair of snowshoes, and as an added bonus they're made in the USA by an environmentally friendly company.
