The Crescent Moon Gold 10 snowshoes are recommended for backcountry enthusiasts who weigh up to 225 pounds with all their gear. Like all Crescent Moon snowshoes, the Gold 10s boast a teardrop-shaped frame that provides greater maneuverability than traditionally shaped shoes without sacrificing flotation. The frame shape makes the snowshoes ideal for trekking off trail, whether through the woods or over an ungroomed field. The Gold 10s live up their backcountry reputation via the two additional sets of stainless-steel traversing claws, which combine with the three stainless-steel crampons to provide a grip that's particularly noticeable on steep traverses across the fall line or on long descents. The claws help make the Gold 10 snowshoes the most popular model in the entire Crescent Moon line, as the shoes also perform flawlessly on trails.
The Gold 10 snowshoes include 3 stainless-steel crampons and 2 additional sets of traversing claws for improved traction. |
The Gold 10 snowshoes also include a Single Pull Loop (SPL) binding system that offers a high-performing fit. Crescent Moon has been refining the SPL system since the late '90s, with such recent improvements as a larger harness to capture more of your foot, a horizontal stabilizer beneath the footplate for better control, and a bigger stomp pad to increase both traction and comfort. Plus, all Gold series shoes feature thick, abrasion-resistant decking material to improve durability. And winter enthusiasts will love the colorful metallic frames, which help Crescent Moon snowshoes stand out from the competition. The Gold 10 snowshoes--which fit shoes from women's size 5 all the way up to men's size 13--weigh 4.4 pounds and carry a lifetime warranty.
About Crescent Moon
The family-owned Crescent Moon is based in Boulder, Colorado, and has been making all its snowshoes by hand since its founding in 1994. Each frame is bent, cut, and welded one piece at a time using aircraft-grade aluminum. The company also uses specially designed materials for cold and abrasion, cutting and assembling the parts by hand in the small factory located just two miles from the famous Boulder mall.
31 x 10, Cited in numerous reviews and buyer's guides as the "best" binding on the market and noted for its combination of light weight, manuverability and overall performance, both on and off trails. The Gold 10 features the larger version of the SPL binding for sizes up to men's 15 and an additional set of traversing claws for climbs up and across the fall line. The new Gold 10 comes in 2 colors, this one is the deep green version but except for that variation, is exactly the same as the "candy-apple red" frame color.
