TSL, a Vermont based company has a great, made-in-the-USA product.

They make a variety of composite and aluminum snowshoes for women, men and kids. WAVE Journey has tested TSLs 305 Rando Easy that has the Rando binding with the brand-new EASY UP automatic heel lift.  This model has an adjustable and very easy-to-use binding system, performs very well on steep conditions (the heel lift takes the stress off achilles and calves), is light-weight while being everything you need in a snowshoe for a day of fun in the snow.

The second TSL pair is the "Take The High Road Women 25."  A very versatile snowshoe, light-weight, easy-to-adjust binding with great crampons providing lots of traction.  Whether on icy, packed snow or steep conditions these snowshoes get the job done.  Also, this snowshoe works out great for deeper snow conditions and trail-breaking.

Both pairs of snowshoes are well constructed and are offered in attractive, fun colors. For the quality and features that both pairs of TSL snowshoes offer, they are priced very reasonably. Worked very well with hiking boots and gaitors or snow boots.

TSL snowshoes have a one year warranty.
