I have yet to use this outside but it seems to be the same as a more expensive brand that I have.

Enjoy better traction while on the snowshoe trail with these Atlas adjustable two-section poles. Offering a maximum length of 130 cm, the poles make it easy to establish a rhythm on your hike whether you're trekking through thick powder or navigating icy conditions. The poles are constructed of lightweight, seamless aluminum tubing, with alpine powder baskets and steel flex tips helping you find your balance in uneven and technical terrain. The poles are also easy to hold thanks to the gender-specific plastic grips and the adjustable hand straps. Best of all, the snowshoe poles collapse into a compact footprint for easy packing. The Atlas poles--which weigh 1.3 pounds total--carry a limited lifetime warranty.
About Atlas Snowshoes Winner of the American Alpine Institute Guides' Choice award since 1996, Atlas snowshoes are the performance choice for professional guides, outdoor enthusiasts, snowshoe racers, and even the Special Operations Forces of the U.S. military. The Atlas story began in 1990, when founder Perry Klebahn--who was looking to snowshoeing to help recover from a motorcycle injury--grew frustrated with contemporary snowshoe designs. Klebahn soon developed his own ideas and created a revolutionary new snowshoe as the theses project for his graduate engineering degree from Stanford University's product design program. Applying for patents on the original Atlas snowshoe, Klebahn was awarded the first patent granted for snowshoes in over 40 years. As development continued, innovations such as the dual crampon design and Spring-Loaded Suspension System became tenets of Atlas snowshoe designs and helped revolutionized the sport. Based in Seattle, Atlas has been awarded 19 patents, from heel cleats to contoured footbeds, SureClick buckles, frame-frame tail joints, and the company's latest--the elliptical cross-section tubing that provides the strength and durability of the company's 7075 ReactiV frames.
