Product Description
An ideal all-around performer, Crescent Moon Gold Women's 13 snowshoes provide female winter sports enthusiasts with a combination of flotation and maneuverability. The unique, teardrop shape is ergonomically designed to ensure that women can maintain an easy, natural walking stride in snow and ice, making it easy to climb and hike over trail and backcountry conditions. The frames of the snowshoes found in Crescent Moon's Women's Series showcase steeply shaped toes and an exaggerated teardrop shape. These features cater to the female snowshoe enthusiast, accounting for the fact that, on average, women have a shorter walking stride than men. Gold 13 Women's snowshoes sport Crescent Moon's innovative step-in Single-Pull-Loop (SPL) binding, featuring a molded polyurethane stirrup that captures your foot with a single pull of the loop strap. The SPL system results in equal tension across the harness without the need to fuss with several individual strap adjusters. To close the binding, a polycarbonate buckle ratchets your heel snugly into place for a secure and comfortable fit. Once locked, it will not slip or loosen. In addition, Crescent Moon has applied the aeronautical engineering principle of redundant design to the binding mechanism. With six rivet locations securing the binding strap to the frame, you could cut the support strap in half and still make it home with your binding intact. To ensure optimal flotation, Gold 13 Women's snowshoes are balanced to distribute your body weight across the entire shoe. This design also makes them easier to pull out of the snow, so you don't have to work as hard to walk, hike or climb. The unique teardrop shaped platform is based on the shape of your foot, wide at the ball and narrow at the heel. Instead of forcing you to waddle, the ergonomic design helps your feet clear away from each other with every step, ensuring a smooth, natural stride and allowing you to concentrate on your adventure.

Amazon.com Product Description
Crescent Moon was the first manufacturer to design a series of snowshoes made specifically to accommodate a woman's stride, which is generally shorter and narrower than a man's. The Crescent Moon Gold 13 women's snowshoes are no exception, with a steep nose and exaggerated teardrop-shaped tail that keeps you striding like normal. Because the shoes "clear" away from each other, walking in the Gold 13s feels like hiking with no snowshoes at all--a must for long snowshoe trips. The Gold 13s boast a TIG-welded, powder-coated aluminum frame that's strong and durable, along with a stainless-steel claw traction system that provides a solid bite in slippery conditions. The snowshoe's outstanding single pull loop (SPL) adjustable binding, meanwhile, is comfortable and supportive, with a cam-locking buckle heel and secure gel polymer stirrups. Recommended for women up to 165 pounds in all conditions, the Gold 13 is incredibly maneuverable and easy to use on your favorite trail. The Gold 13 snowshoes measures 26 by 8 inches each, weigh 3.9 pounds total, and are backed by a limited lifetime warranty. Key Features of Crescent Moon Snowshoes:
Binding
The most important part of a snowshoe is the binding. It should be easy and intuitive to use, provide support, be comfortable under all conditions, and efficiently transfer your energy to the traction system with each step you take. That's why Crescent Moon invented the SPL (single-pull-loop) adjustable binding. You'll get the response and control you need and get a great sense of confidence to go up or down any trail with a pair of Crescent Moon snowshoes. The SPL binding is the easiest in/out binding on the market: simply place your foot in the stirrup and pull up (and getting out is just as simple). The binding holds your entire foot with equal tension throughout, resulting in better support and comfort toe to heel with side to side stability for significantly better performance than "open-toed" binding designs. This simple design is the result of extensive testing and years of use by Crescent Moon customers from around the world. Platform (Frame and Decking)
To ensure optimal flotation, Crescent Moon Snowshoes are balanced to distribute your body weight across the entire shoe. The design also makes them easier to pull out of the snow, so you don't have to work as hard to walk, hike, or climb. The unique teardrop-shape platform is based on the shape of your foot: wide at the ball and narrow at the heel. Instead of forcing you to waddle, the ergonomic design helps your feet clear away from each other with every step, ensuring a smooth, natural stride while allowing you to concentrate on your adventure. The frame is made from lightweight aircraft-grade aluminum tubing, which is shaped by hand and Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG), which is welded for incredible strength, durability, and reliability. The decking is made from an ultra durable, lightweight material called TGS (the good stuff) which simply won't tear or fail. It is extremely resistant to abrasion and textured for additional traction and performance. A new decking material is made using the most environmentally-friendly processes and ingredients as possible and does not use PVC. Traction
Crescent Moon has the only three-claw crampon traction system on the market, so you can really get a grip. Inherently better than standard two-crampon systems, it features the only genuine toe claw found on a snowshoe. As you walk, you use your whole foot, shifting your weight for balance and traction with each step. Crescent Moon's stainless steel teeth and claws dig in not only at the heel and ball, but also at the toe, to give you complete control. All of Crescent Moon's crampons come with protective, snow-shedding shields to prevent buildup of snow and ice.
