About GV Snowshoes Wide Trail: This here is a model called the Wide Trail. This is GV Snowshoes’ workhorse. It is designed for bush workers. It is a snowshoe that will be a bit longer and a bit wider that will help you carry more weight with you and offer, since it’s wider, more stability. On this particular snowshoe, we have a 6,000-gauge aluminum frame. We have also the Olafin decking, aluminum crampon system, with the Teflon paint on it. This model here comes with a rigid pivot system, so it’s literally a rod that goes through the shoe. This here is a backup system. This part will tie to your ankle, and this part is tied to the shoe. So when you want to back up, if you don’t have that system, your shoe drops down when you lift your foot. If you tie that to your ankle, when you try to back up, the shoe will follow the movement. So for bush workers it makes it much more safe. We have a ratchet binding system, a front toe stopper to prevent the foot from slipping when we go down hills, and we also have a rubber foam padding inside for providing more comfort.
