Costco snowshoes

(1/5) > >>

I did a quick search on here and didn't see anything. I was at Costco last weekend and was looking at their snowshoes for $69.00 or so. Does anyone have experience with these? I'm looking at the mediums but may have to get large if I want to carry weight. I have not snowshoed before and wondering if these are decent for the price. Also I have to try and convince the wife to go since I don' t know anyone who snowshoes. So I'm also trying to decide whether to rent or buy.

I also hope you get some response on this. I am looking at purchasing some snow snowshoes.

I got the medium ones a couple years ago for Christmas.  They are good for messing around without a pack: day hikes.  I got the bigger ones after trying to carry a pack with them (I weigh 180 and 30# pack).  Don't plan on hunting with them as they are very loud; the plastic sounds like a snow shovel on a driveway every step even in powder.  Get an old fiber set if you plan to try and stay quiet.

I was looking at those the other day at Costco but don't know jack about them.  I would like a set to have for shed hunting but not sure what to get.

We got into snowshoeing several years ago. I will tell you my  :twocents: from our experience is to spend a little more and get some nicer shoes. We started out with the Wal-Mart sets and ended up not very happy with them. Ended up going to REI and getting the Atlas ones I believe. And they have been fantastic, have no complaints on them.
