Product description
Versatile and flexible snowshoes for challenging and varied trails
Thanks to their Hyperflex frame construction, the Symbioz Hyperflex Instinct snowshoes from TSL adapt perfectly to your shoes tread and allow for a completely natural gait. The elasticity and responsiveness of the frame material and the binding offer even more freedom and a reduced weight.
Reinforcements absorb the strain caused by walking and make the Symbioz Hyperflex Instinct flexible, tough and lightweight. In addition, the composite material stores the kinetic energy produced during each step and releases it again as you lift your feet, making your gait more dynamic and overall less strenuous. The flexing of the frame is therefore progressive, agile, precise and smooth, so that you can move forward with less effort in snowy terrain.
The front points, traction bars and larger points allow maximum traction in steep terrain. Together with the practical climbing aid, which can be operated using a pole, you have a non-slip grip on your ascent and can traverse and progress with comfort.
These snowshoes are optimal for all those who place a lot of value on manoeuvrability and being light-footed in rough terrain.

I had a chance to use these in South Tyrol these last days, on 15-20cm fresh snow, old compacted or crusty snow and groomed trails. I'm 2m tall, weigh 108kgs and have size 50 feet so I have the biggest size (L). They are slim and somewhat small and with my size and weight I sink in almost every snowshoe, but even with these I sink less than with boots alone, and once they compact the snow and the big crampons plus plastic wings grip, there's no way to slide. I walked up and down easy to medium trails with total confidence using poles only once. Being big I have a naturally wide stance, so with these being slim I can walk normally, like not even having them on, never stepped on and never tripped. The Boa binding is a breeze, just put boot in, engage, tighten and have fun. Of course being a single-pull system it cannot accomodate odd-shaped or very wide-soled boots (i.e. my size 50 Hokas don't fit), but I can trade that for the true 10 seconds it takes to put these on and take them off.
They perform best on packed snow or groomed trails, but they can handle not-too-high powder nicely.
Price is high, but I was really blown away by these.
