GOLD SERIES SNOWSHOES
Since 1997, we've focused on building the best binding on the market. This year's Gold SPL binding is better still with a polymer gel stirrup and toe harness system that adjusts to most size feet with one quick pull. A durable heel ratcheting buckle secures your heel in place and provides a responsive binding under all conditions. Models in the Gold series feature a TIG welded tear drop shape frame which makes snowshoeing easier and more natural than traditionally shaped snowshoes. All models in the Gold series also have brilliant colored highly protective powder coated frames and a lightweight, abrasive resistant decking that contains no PVC. Except for the Gold 12 (running) all the other Gold models have stainless steel crampons.

Women's

Crescent Moon was the first snowshoe manufacturer to design a women's specific model and series of shoes to accommodate the differences of a woman's stride. The Gold 13 features a frame which has been bent with a very steep nose and tapered tail to allow the shoes to pass by each other without changing the way you normally walk. With each step, the shoes will clear away from each other within the distance of your own natural stride. With the new 08/09 changes to the traction system and decking materials you'll should expect an even greater snowshoe experience than ever before.
