Hi, my name is Sheryl McGlochlin with crazysheryl.com and on behalf of expertvillage.com we want
to talk about how your weight would effect the snowshoe that you use. Now I have on this
snowshoe here and when you go in and check snowshoes they do not have to be really long.
Fred here has a great snowshoe and my is a little bit shorter and Oscar's is also a msr
and if you are much heavier or you do want to do some back packing and caring a 15 pound
load on your back while you are snowshoeing the really nice thing about msr's which why
I love them so much. I have them with me now but you can put a extension and it hooks into
this hole and it would come out another 7-8 inches which would give you more foot space
and it would spread your weight out in the snow. So you can adjust your snowshoes if
you are using the msr's with your weight. Whether if you are heavier or a little bit
lighter. The biggest mistake that most people make is getting a really long snow shoe and
they don't stay snowshoeing very long because they are some combustion and difficult. That
is what is important to remember about your weight and snowshoes.
