ΤΕΧΝΙΚΕΣ ΠΛΗΡΟΦΟΡΙΕΣ

How to use snowshoes?

Before putting them on:

There is a snowshoe for the right foot and one for the left foot; make sure you have the correct snowshoe on each foot according to the pictogram on the snowshoe deck.

Adjustable: Your snowshoes must be properly adjusted to ensure your safety.

1/ Your feet must reach the ends (front and back) to optimize support of your boots.

2 / The straps or buckles must be tightened as much as possible.

Choose your snowshoes according to your weight:

Choose snowshoes depending on the weight of the wearer (including the weight of their backpack) to enable them to remain on the surface of the snow. This is what is known as lift. There are different sizes of snowshoes to adapt to all sizes and hiking practices.

Our advice:

33 to 110 lbs: kid model

88 to 175 lbs: small to medium deck

132 to 265 lbs: large deck

Heel lift for greater ease when climbing:

Choose snowshoes with a heel lift to hike more easily and comfortably uphill. This removable heel lift raises the heel. It can be used when climbing steep hills to reduce the effect of the slope and save energy.

Using poles for increased stability when snowshoeing:

We strongly recommend that you use a pair of poles for better stability when snowshoeing. Especially if you intend to hike on slopes (uphill, downhill, etc) or on powder snow where you may sink in more. There are 2 types of basket, choose large baskets so that the poles remain on the surface.

Choose breathable clothing for snow hiking:

We tend to over-dress when hiking in the snow because we are afraid of the cold. However, you will heat up very quickly when snowshoeing.

Adopt the 3 layer technique!

This technique enables warmth to be adapted to your effort: remove clothing when it is warm, put it back on when it is colder or during breaks. If you are too hot, you will perspire more, which will cool you down during breaks or when going downhill on a hike.

Dressing using the 3 layer technique?

To dress properly in winter, whatever your activity, we recommend using the 3-layer principle:

layer 1: The high-tech base layer transfers moisture away from the body to keep your skin dry.

layer 2: The 2nd layer (fleece, sweater) provides warmth and transfers moisture outward.

layer 3: The jacket protects from the outdoor conditions: rain, snow, wind.

The whole outfit must be breathable in order to eliminate moisture.

The outfit is suitable for snowshoeing:

Our design team has worked on the ideal snowshoeing outfit. It enables sufficient warmth, while integrating ventilation zippers to reduce perspiration and stretch inserts to enable amplitude of movement. Hardwearing boots with good grip for great traction on snow:

The outfit:

Fleece SH500 X-WARM, Pants SH520 X-WARM, Boots SH520 X-Warm

WHICH FOOTWEAR?

For snowshoeing, you need warm high hiking boots that are waterproof and breathable. Also go for boots with good grip for the areas where you will remove your snowshoes (in the parking lot or if there is not enough snow).

NEVER OVERLOOK SAFETY...

For off-piste hiking, make sure you are equipped with maps, a compass and/or GPS and carry an Avalanche Victim Detector, a shovel and a probe. These 3 pieces of equipment enable you to be found if you are caught in an avalanche, or look for a victim. And do not forget to revise your security basics.
