2013 Tubbs Catalog by Tubbs Snowshoes

2013 - 2014 DEALER WORKBOOK

ometimes the day is defined by our first steps: the first steps out of bed in the morning, the steps out of the door to work, and the first step into your house as you return at night. When the routine is broken and you have a choice over these steps, where do you want go? What steps do you want to take and where do you want to take them? With an aim to be healthier and take more steps in a day, which steps stand apart? When the halls of the office become the chosen snowshoe trail in the winter, which steps are the favorite? The first step into snow? The last step before the summit? Or is it the last step back when returning to the car? That’s what we want you to think about as you set off on your own adventures this winter — which steps did you take that made the day significant and stand apart from all those that are routine? We hope your first step is to read through the catalog to decide which snowshoes are a good fit for your adventures this winter. Your second step is to start planning more steps off the beaten path. Isn’t that one of the main benefits of snowshoeing? The ability to step easily off the trail and explore where you’d like to go? HOW MANY STEPS can you take in 12 hours? That’s how long it took the talented Simon Beck to make this Sierpinski triangle with the Tubbs logo. Each edge is 787 feet!

WHAT’S NEW AT TUBBS? Throughout the following catalog you’ll see a new organization by category: Backcountry, Day Hiking, Trail Walking and Kids’ – combining our Traditional and FLEX models together. This was done to demonstrate the similar benefits in technology that are achieved through each of the constructions. Our goal continues to be creating the most ergonomic, comfortable and advanced snowshoes for every level of adventure. Here’s what’s new and exciting for 2013:

BACKCOUNTRY 05

Hi, I’m: Suzann L. My day job: Marketing Manager Place I call home: Yellowstone, MT My most memorable step: “My favorite step was when the waterfalls came into view at the Pass, I didn’t expect them to be majestically frozen over with a million icicles suspended. At that moment — with the silence in the air, the snowflakes lightly coming down, and the rolling snow blanketing hills — it felt like a winter wonderland.”

HIGH PEAKS OF THE ADIRONDACKS, NEW YORK

THE LAST BEFORE THE SUMMIT Leaving the house, car, and even trail behind is when

BACKCOUNTRY

backcountry adventure begins. Every step moves you closer to a ridge or summit, and those final steps on the ascent can be some of the best. Tubbs Backcountry snowshoes were designed so you don’t have to worry about your equipment and can focus on reaching the destination. The snug bindings found on our Backcountry snowshoes were designed to hold

your boot securely and to keep your ankle aligned with Control Wings™. The ActiveLift™ 19° heel lift ensures steep slopes won’t strain your Achilles as you attack each step for the summit. We want you to trust the equipment, so your destination – and enjoying the steps it will take to get there – can be your focus.

DAY HIKING 11

Hi, my name is: Anne M. My day job: Conservation Stewardship Director Place I call home: Minneapolis, MN My most memorable step: “My favorite step, without fail, is the moment I first set foot on the trail. I like to close my eyes and take a moment to listen. The sound of wind whispering through the pines, the chatter of nuthatches and chickadees as they flit from branch to branch, and the far off rhythm of a woodpecker drumming on a tree instantly transports me to my North Woods trail. I’m ready to hit the trail for a day of exploring.”

TRAIL WALKING 19

Hi, my name is: Lorraine C. My day job: Finance Assistant Place I call home: Collegeville, PA My most memorable step: “My favorite step has to be any step outside my normal comfort zone. We all trudge through the normal routine day after day, almost robotically. I wanted to do something so unlike my normal. The cold has a bite to it but it wakes you up and makes you feel alive. The whiteness of the snow reflecting off everything it touches — nature is amazingly beautiful isn’t it? As I step on to the trail I can’t help but wonder why I didn’t try this sooner? “

MOLAS PASS, COLORADO | PHOTO: SCOTT DW SMITH

THE FIRST! Trail Walking is a great category for first-time snowshoers to

TRAIL WALKING

find their stride. The ease of following a trail removes the worry of trying a new activity. The first steps can sometimes be a mix of the most unsure but also the most prideful, when one realizes snowshoeing is truly as simple as walking. Tubbs has snowshoes that have the perfect amount of traction for those setting off to follow the beauty of a trail, along with secure

bindings that are simple to get in and out of. We want those new to snowshoeing to feel comfortable and secure in their snowshoes so looking back they can remember the joy of trying something new and finding a favorite winter pastime.

KIDS 25

Hi, I’m: Carrie G. My day job: Assistant GM at private country club Place I call home: Eagle, CO My most memorable step: “For my 8 year old daughter and 9 year old son, their favorite steps on a snowy trail are ones imprinted before we even step a foot in the snow — tracks from snowshoe hare, elk, deer, coyote, mice and even moose. Being able to recognize the tracks and see how different animals scurry or navigate the same terrain provides hours of active and even educational entertainment. Before they know it, we’ve been out on a 2-3 hour hike in pristine forest, and all of our needs have been met for fun play, physical exertion, and education.“ GREEN MOUNTAINS, VERMONT

THE FIRST OUT THE DOOR When energy runs high in the winter with shorter days and less accessibility to outdoor activities due to inclimate weather, snowshoeing can provide families a release of pent-up desire to be outside. These steps can be filled

seems exciting, requests for snacks, and questions of winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unfamiliar landscape and animal tracks. We updated our Kids models to be easier for parents and kids to get in and out of while keeping their mittens on. Because kids deserve the same ergonomic benefits as adults, our kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; models are formed with youth versions of favorite adult technology and easy-to- use bindings. Kids should be able to run and explore as long as they like with these comfortable snowshoes.

The completely-redesigned Glacier snowshoe is sure to please “tweeners” headed on adventures with the family.

For fastmoving kids playing in snow, we improved the Glacier with a tighter frame shape to accommodate kids’ narrower stance and a fixed toe cord to help the snowshoes stay close to the foot. With trademark Tubbs technology and comfort, this is one snowshoe designed to keep your kids outside and active all winter long! SPECS

BREADLOAF WILDERNESS, VERMONT

TECHNOLOGY KEY The Pro-Step frame combines a continuous frame bend with longer, lower rise for improved flotation. The lower height nose packs easily, while the tail bend reduces impact on your joints.

R2 delivers shock-absorbing lateral flex and quick side slope responsiveness to maintain a natural foot position. Full step rotation sheds snow and allows the toe crampon to bite deeply.

The innovative, upturned tail of the aluminum Fit-Step™ frame provides biomechanical benefits, reducing muscular skeletal impact on hip, knee and ankle joints by 10%.*

The Rotating Toe Cord design enables the tail of the snowshoe to drop, shedding snow and reducing cardio-respiratory strain by 7%*, while a Rotation Limiter prevents over-rotation.

ROTATION LIMITER

The ultra-durable 6000 series Western Frame design optimizes flotation and stability in powder snow conditions.

The Rotating Toe Cord design enables the tail of the snowshoe to drop, shedding snow off the tail. When weighted, the underfoot teeth on the toe traction bite deeply into the snow.

SoftTec decking provides durable, lightweight flotation and has a smooth, soft texture.

The Fixed Toe Cord pivot system is efficient for flat and rolling terrain with packed snow conditions, and it keeps the snowshoe close to the foot for quick turnover.

FLEX

The patented FLEX Tail™ technology allows the 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.

FLEX

ARTICULATION SYSTEMS

Tubbs’ advanced Torsion Deck™ allows torsional articulation throughout the body of the snowshoe, enhancing traction, biomechanics and comfort on uneven terrain.

FLEX

TECH KEY

FRAMES & DECKING

The patent-pending Soft Strike™ zone works with the FLEX Tail to absorb shock and reduce stress on joints and muscles. Soft Strike also aids in weighted traction under the heel.

OTHER 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 19° Backcountry heel lift is ideal for extreme steeps, while the 16° Day Hiking version is designed for moderate terrain.

Tubbs was the first company to manufacture women’s-specific snowshoes, and we remain committed with women’s-specific versions of every adult model. Tubbs women’s-specific snowshoes are lighter in weight, feature ergonomically tapered frame shapes for ease of stride, and offer custom fit women’s-specific bindings sized and scaled from a woman’s boot in sizes 5-11.

* according to a study conducted by Ray Browning, Ph.D. (Colorado State University)

TECHNOLOGY KEY The razor-sharp, carbon steel Anaconda™ toe crampon has eight sharp teeth that provide constant contact and penetration in all types of terrain.

The asymmetric and easy-to-use ReAct™ binding combines gender-specific, stable base construction with Tubbs’ patented Control Wing technology for a comfortable and secure fit.

The carbon steel Cobra™ toe crampon located under the ball of the foot provides constant contact in variable snow conditions, while its jagged tooth construction improves grip on packed snow and ice.

Our most robust 180™ Series binding, the genderspecific 180Pro features rigid Control Wings, a locking heel strap and a padded upper for pressure-free comfort and added warmth.

The compact, carbon steel Talon™ toe crampon provides constant contact on all types of terrain and engages the slope more quickly with the FitStep™ frame shape.

The 180™Tour binding fuses a micro-adjust webbing system for easy adjustment with patented Control Wings for an exact fit on a wide variety of men’s and women’s boot sizes.

Our Recreational series of carbon steel toe and heel crampons feature front and rear braking teeth for a secure grip uphill, downhill and side-hill, in packed snow conditions.

The streamlined 180™EZ binding features a simple, one-buckle tightening mechanism, coupled with easy-to-use Control Wings and a heel strap for efficient, lightweight support.

The aggressive Python heel crampon, centered under the boot, delivers enhanced downhill braking traction.

An intuitive forefoot strap on the QuickPull binding cinches easily and unlocks with one buckle push. The pivoting toe stop allows speedy adjustment, and Control Wings keep your heel aligned.

The Grappler heel cleat’s serrated tooth design gives you weighted traction under your heel.

The QuickLock2™ binding on the Glacier slides easily to lock and stays snug around the boot providing security and comfort. It’s sized from Junior size 3 to men’s size 10.

The Viper™ 2.0 carbon steel toe crampon’s jagged tooth construction maximizes weighted traction and responsiveness. The aggressive tangs in the toe crampon function well in the snow. The 3D-Curved Traction Rails ensure superior side-hill grip in hard-packed and icy conditions. The curved shape helps prevent fore-aft slippage on steeper terrain.

FLEX

The gender-specific, asymmetric ActiveFLEX™ binding, featuring patented Control Wings, provides lightweight control, support, comfort and ease of use.

FLEX

The simple tightening and locking buckle on the QuickLock™ binding makes getting kids in and out of snowshoes easier than ever and provides all-day stability and control.
