Plus, they have an ergonomic curved shape that promotes a natural gait. This makes them one of the most flexible models around, extremely durable, and very lightweight. The latter, as the name suggests, have decks fully comprised of EVA foam. This smart feature adds some rebound to your step, making it easier to jog for extended periods of time. The former, with their spring-loaded suspension system, are specifically designed for runners. Two of the most innovative options on our list are the Atlas Boa Run and Crescent Moon Eva. Their plastic decks can handle very hard impacts without cracking, even in frigid conditions, and they provide quite impressive flotation for their size. The MSR Evo 22s probably represent the best value of any model we recommend when considering their price to performance. You'll now find the MSR Lightning Ascent Ultralights 2019 and the Louis Garneau Blizzard III on our list. We also replaced a few models with their newest iteration, specifically the MSR Lightning Ascent Ultralights 2018 and Louis Garneau 825 Blizzard II. Taking the place of these two affordable models are the budget-friendly Chinook 80006 Trekker, which are not only less expensive than the other two, but provide better flotation and have rotating crampons for traction in all directions. We've also updated several of our choices with newer models or color schemes for the year, including the MSR Lightning Ascent, the MSR Evo Trail 22-inch, and the Tubbs Xplore.ĭuring this most recent update, we decided to remove the Yukon Charlie's Sherpas, which we felt most users would find too heavy to wear comfortably for a long period of time, and the Winterial Back Trails, which have problematic heel straps. We also removed the Atlas Boa Run due to availability issues.
You'd be better off with the MSR Revo Explore or the Tubbs Flex VRT Backcountry. We've removed the Louis Garneau Blizzard III although it's still a good set, it doesn't quite have the stellar reviews needed to justify its higher price. They are particularly suited to females who are short or petite. We also added the Atlas Elektra Women's, which gets high marks for its narrower design. While they may not have the durability of the more expensive models, they are ideal for people who want to try the sport but don't want to spend too much. For this update, we've added another budget-friendly pair for beginners, the Alps All-Terrain, which come with a set of poles and bag.
