ATLAS SNOWSHOE
ATLAS SNOWSHOE CO. WORKBOOK 2017
Our dedication and love of winter adventure motivates us to build the best performing snowshoe for every winter excursion. We started with an idea to make snowshoeing more accessible by making each step more efficient. That idea was a Spring Loaded Suspension System and has since then evolved into a full line of adventure ready winter snowshoes, poles and kits. From backcountry exploration to a quick jaunt down the local trailhead, we strive to deliver purpose driven technologies that make Atlas Snowshoes the snowshoe of choice.

A NATO M Y
While the basic anatomy of a snowshoe may not have changed much over 100 years, Atlas Snowshoe Co. is determined to change your snowshoe experience year after year. With 19 patents and counting, we know a thing or two about making a good thing better. Below we break down the anatomy of the Stratus and in doing so, highlight the cornerstone technologies that exemplify our commitment to innovation.
of a
SNOWSHOE
➊
➎
BOA® CLOSURE SYSTEM
Stainless steel wires evenly distributes pressure across the foot for the most comfortable and secure fit. Easy, durable, on-the-fly adjustment.
➋
V-FRAME™
The V-shape tracks straight in deep snow and the tapered tail pulls less snow as you step forward, saving energy. The turned-up tail of the V-Frame™ rolls easily into each step for a natural gait.
➌
SPRING-LOADED™ SUSPENSION
Presicion-focused, Spring-Loaded™ Suspension’s (SLS) patented design, suspends the snowshoe close underfoot so it can move freely with its intended articulation, absorbing impact, flexing naturally side-to-side, and allowing deeper crampon penetration into the slope for an uncompromised stride.
➍
WRAPP™ HELIX BINDING
The Wrapp™ Helix binding blends Atlas’ proven Wrapp™ series design with the added performance of the Boa® Closure System. Providing a secure fit each and every time, the simple twist of a dial delivers consistent precision when the terrain gets technical.
HEEL LIFT
➐
On steep climbs, calf muscles tire quickly and traction decreases when your foot matches the slope angle. The heel lift bar on Atlas snowshoes eases fatigue when climbing and ensures better grip when the terrain gets steep.
The time-tested geometry of our All-Trac™ toe crampon provides traction in all directions. Wider traction tabs on the sides and corners complement sharp front and rear points, for confident hiking.
➏
NYTEX DECKING
TRAVERSE TRAC RAILS (Underside) The sharp ridges of our side rails augment the downhill function of the heel cleat, running parallel to the snowshoe frame for solid footing, even on firm sidehill terrain.
Lightweight and flexible Nytex decking provides the durability winter demands, while easily shedding snow to lessen the load.

REACTIV-TRAC™
Reactiv-Trac™ construction integrates the perimeter aft stability of serrated traction rails with Spring-Loaded™ Suspension and the flex of an elliptically formed nose, allowing the binding, crampon, and frame to conform and articulate independently with the terrain.
Our most recent patent, the variable forming of our 7075 aluminum ReactiV™ frame changes from a cylindrical to an elliptical shape to increase strength where the frame bears the greatest load for a stiffer, more responsive snowshoe frame.

BOA® CLOSURE SYSTEM
Our surest grip comes from sharp ice tips on the heel cleat. With four angled, ridged side rails for superior all-mountain traction, the integrated heel lift bar ties directly into the traction for deeper penetration with each step.
Stainless steel wires evenly distributes pressure across the foot for the most comfortable and secure fit. Easy, durable, on-the-fly adjustment.

TRAIL
The weight-activated, StabiLock Rear Traction optimizes weight distribution to its serrated traction elements, for sure footing on the most technical terrain.
On steep climbs, calf muscles tire quickly and traction decreases when your foot matches the slope angle. The heel lift bar on Atlas snowshoes eases fatigue when climbing and ensures better grip when the terrain gets steep.

Our first patent, the Atlas Heel Cleat revolutionized snowshoe performance and created an industry standard, adding traction and stability for climbing, descending and traversing varied terrain.
Included with all Atlas Backcountry Adventure snowshoes, the BC Utility Strap can be used to secure your snowshoes to your pack, lash together other gear, or simply carried as a backup strap for the field-replaceable PackFlat™ Binding or any other emergency situation.
