Tubbs Youth Flex HKE Snowshoe

$99.95 $74.96

Designed for those who have outgrown traditional Kids' snowshoes, but aren't yet ready to step into a full-size adult model. The Tubbs® Youth Flex HKE Snowshoe features Traction Rails and the Tubbs Toe Crampon that keep snowshoes steady on icy slopes and variable terrain. The composite Torsion Deck™ provides optimal flotation while allowing torsional articulation throughout the body of the snowshoe, enhancing traction, preserving your natural gait, and improving comfort on uneven terrain.

Tubbs Flex Tail™ technology allows this snowshoe to roll more naturally from heel to toe. The Flex Tail absorbs shock from the heel strike, reducing the amount of stress on joints. The simple Quick-Fit Jr. Binding features the perfect blend of comfort and control, with easy and intuitive entry-exit in Jr. sizing. Designed to make steep ascents easier, the ActiveLift™ Heel Lift reduces calf fatigue and Achilles tendon strain. It can be easily pulled up and down. The 16° Day Hiking version is designed for moderate terrain.

Tubbs® was originally founded by Walter Tubbs in Norway, Maine, in 1906 as a manufacturer of ash snowshoes, skis, sleds, and furniture. In the 1940s the company moved to Vermont and was manufacturing close to 100,000 pairs of wooden snowshoes per year, many of which were used by Allied troops in World War II.

By the 1980s, snowshoe recreation seemed to be in a slump and Tubbs was manufacturing only about 1,200 pairs of wooden snowshoes per year. In 1989, however, after introducing the metal snowshoe, sales increased to about 5,000 pairs that year.  Change came slowly but growth has been consistent, thanks in part, to companies like Tubbs who helped increase the awareness and enjoyment of the sport. From the half million US snowshoe enthusiasts in the mid-90s, the sport is now enjoyed by as many as 5 million people, according to some estimates.

Innovation such as ArcTec Plus® decking material, 3D Fit binding platform, and their patented Control Wings® has helped Tubbs virtually dominate the snowshoe market.

For your next backcountry, racing, fitness, or recreational snowshoe adventure, Tubbs has the snowshoe for mom, dad, and even junior.
