Backcountry
The Gold 10 is recommended for backcountry enthusiasts who weigh up to 225lbs, including all your accoutrement. The Gold 10, like all the Crescent Moon snowshoes is a tear drop shaped frame that gives you greater maneuverability than traditionally shaped shoes without sacrificing the flotation. The Gold 10, also known as the "Backcountry" model has two additional sets of stainless steel traversing claws providing a grip that is particularly noticeable on steep traverses across the fall line or on long descents. It has become the most popular shoe in the entire Crescent Moon line – maybe because more and more of you are going off-trail and finding adventures deeper in the hills. But whether you’re on or off the trail the Gold 10 is the perfect hybrid of sport and utility. If you're headed to the backcountry, you'll appreciate the manuverability and lightweight feel of the Gold 10.
