Initial Thoughts on the REI Co-op Women’s Atlas Montane Snowshoes
These snowshoes are awesome for anyone that wants to take up snowshoeing – they feel lightweight and are super easy to put on and take off! The 23″ were perfect (I’m 5’4″) and it did not take very long for the steps to start to feel ‘natural.’
