With high-level grip on crusted, wet, and icy snow, the TSL Outdoors Highlander Instinct Snowshoe crushes our winter hikes. The sharp, multi-tooth grip up front digs into steep inclines while the patented Contact Grips feature composite teeth beneath the rear rocker to enhance grip for downhill sections. The lateral grips improve side-hill performance while the rockered shape and heel lift encourage a more natural stride and give our calves and Achilles tendons some relief on steep ascents. The lightweight, BOA Fit binding system secures the snowshoe around our entire foot, conforming to our shoes for a precision fit that frees our heels from pressure points.
