Summary:
I bought a pair of Atlas 725 this past fall
and have been using them in the greenbelt
around Kanata. They are easy to use and very light.
A big difference with the old woodframe ones.
I only dont know how well they perform in really deep snow, I seemed to sink quite q bit. They are great on slightly compacted trails however.

Summary:
these snowshoes are the best I have used in a long time. I went from an ash pair to these light weight , easy to use bindings, good gripping shoes.
Nice product for someone who does a little bit of all types of snowshoeing.

Summary:
Not great for traversing. The back of snow shoe has no grip and kept sliding downwards while trying to traverse on a steep peak. I liked the bindings, crampons and lightweight feature.

Summary:
These are the first pair I've owned and I think they're great. I used them for backwoods cross training in the winter hiking/running the same trails I ride in the summer. They stay put on my boots and I haven't had a problem yet. I had to use them as a shovel once to help dig someones car out!

Summary:
A great snowshoe for the price. I used them for a four day trip into the backcountry huts in Gros Morne National Park this past January and they were great. Their small size and lightweight made them ideal for tight trails and lots of ascending. On the down side the strap/binding system is not as nice as the ones on some of the higher end Tubbs, but you get what you pay for.
