-----------------------
These are new/unused shoes that we have not used. These are one of my ultralight treasures (along with my Dragonfly ice axe) that are for sale to help generate funds for a new adventure (motorcycle).MANUFACTURER'S COMMENTS:
---------------------------------------------
While the bright yellow Elite is a full-sized mountaineering and backpacking snowshoe with an aggressive crampon system, it is also the premier racing snowshoe due to its incredible light weight. The 25" (race legal) Elite actually weighs less than many undersized and under-built specialty running snowshoes! In 1996, 1997 and again in 1999, Mark Macy won the grueling, 100-mile Iditashoe snowshoe race on Northern Lites Elites. Snowboarders will also love the climbing performance of the Elite, and at only one-half the weight of ordinary aluminum frame snowshoes, you'll have plenty of energy left over for the ride down.MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY STATEMENT:
--------------------------------------------------------------
All Northern Lites are made in the USA. Extreme Series models (one of which is the Elite) are warranted for life to the original purchaser against defects in parts or workmanship. If your Northern Lites fail in any way while being used in the act of snowshoeing, we will repair or replace them.
