The Flex ESC is an excellent way for those new to snowshoeing to become better acquainted with the activity. With all of the functional features you need at a fantastic price, the Flex ESC is a go-to option for winter hikers of all experience levels. Featuring traction rails and the Tubbs toe crampon the Flex ESC brings the needed grip on hard packed trails. For those steeper ascents, we've added the ActiveLift 16º heel lift to reduce tendon strain and calf fatigue. The composite Torsion Deck features the added benefit of the Tubbs Flex Tail for a more natural roll from heel to toe.
