The Atlas 2008 Women's Elektra 8 Series Snowshoes are entry-level snowshoes ideal for easy to moderate winter hiking, offered with the high-performance features that the Atlas Elektra Series Snowshoes are know for. The Elektra 8 Series boast a woman-specific design that supports a woman's natural gait and makes the Elektra 8 Series particularly comfortable for beginners.

The bindings provide excellent arch and ankle support without pressure points and are easy to adjust even with your gloves on using the uniloop pull. The 6061 Aluminum V-Frames support a woman's natural gait with a tapered tail, narrow nose, and outside rolling bends so that you won't loose energy as you hike or kick your inner ankles.

Spring-loaded suspension that is also provided on advanced Elektra Series models makes the Elektra 8 Series a superior snowshoe of its class. This patented suspension system returns energy with each step, allows you to maintain your natural ankle articulation as you move, and eliminates heel rotation. The Atlas suspension allows you to use less energy with each step, thus maintaining a stable, secure stride.
