Backpacker Summary:
My experience is almost identical to the previous review. Approximately 10 years ago, we bought my parents a new pair of Atlas 825 & 833 snowshoes. They never wore them and eventually gave them to us. The 1st time out the plastic binding on both pairs broke. Customer Service:
Unfortunately I didn't purchase them at REI, but they were helpful in contacting the company for me and were willing to send them back to Atlas. Atlas told them that they couldn't fix them as they didn't carry that model anymore and would not replace them because they were too old. Never mind that they were basically new. I would highly recommend purchasing a different brand, that stands behind their product.

Backpacker Summary:
I bought a pair of 833 and first time out the plastic foot bindings broke in multiple places, a complete failure of the product. Fortunately I had some cord with me to fashion a temporary repair and make it back to my car. I had to cut my planned outing short due to this.
In addition, I have 4 pair of 825’s bought to loan to friends. Rivets on these have popped out repeatedly; I have had to replace them with stronger steel rivets. The plastic foot binding has broken on one of these as well.
These items should be built to last for several years, not destruct with the first use. The materials used in their construction is second rate. I will never buy another Atlas product.
