Who should wear which snowshoe size? Snowshoe size is a key factor in getting the right amount of floatation. Generally, the heavier the person or the lighter and drier the snow, the more snowshoe surface area is required. You can choose the most suitable one according to the size & weight guide below:

• 25 Inches : 120 – 180lbs / 55 – 82kg

How does it work?
