Crescent Moon Gold 9 Mountain Hiking Snowshoes - Royal Blue Product Description:
- 27" x 9", 4.4lbs per pair, recommended for snowshoers up to 195lbs, men or women, on or off trail
- 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.

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 9 Mountain Hiking snowshoe by Crescent Moon is the perfect size and shape for maximum maneuverability and ease of use. The signature tear drop shaped frame and Crescent Moon's fixed rotating chord make the Gold 9s highly responsive, and a great choice for snowshoers in practically any terrain. It features the award winning SPL binding and 3 claw, stainless steel traction system including Crescent Moons unique toe claw addition, which is clearly an advantage when climbing. With each step, you have complete control from the teeth-gnashing crampons at every point as your foot rotates from heel to toe, pushing off the toe (claw) as it leaves the ground ....what could be more natural? The Gold 9s are an excellent snowshoe choice for being mobile, agile, and adventurous this winter. Make your outdoor experience the best it can be with a pair of Crescent Moons.

Works Great!
By gbglvr
If you can afford it, go for the Crescent Moon Gold 9 snowshoes. These snowshoes are made of aluminum so they are very durable. The bindings have worked flawlessly. The Gold series comes with quick-release bindings, which make getting out them so easy and worth the extra money for this feature. Snowshoeing is harder than you originally think it would be, however, these particular snowshoes make it easier. The teardrop shape keeps them from klunking together while you are walking, allowing for a natural gait. Pair these up with the carry-bag and the overbooties and you will have everything you need for an enjoyable experience. I found that using treking poles helps tremendously as well.
