Men's L.L.Bean Trailblazer BOA® Tec Snowshoes

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: Are these snowshoes a good choice for steep climbs and backcountry trips?

  A: Yes, they are designed to perform on steep terrain and for longer, more demanding outings. Aggressive manganese steel crampons and lateral traction help you feel secure on varied terrain, and the built-in heel lift can make uphill travel feel more efficient.

• Q: How do I choose the right length based on my weight?

  A: Choose by your recommended user weight, including winter clothing and any pack you will carry. The 25 inch size is recommended for 120 to 200 lb., the 30 inch size is recommended for 180 to 250 lb., and the 36 inch size is recommended for 200 to 280 lb.

• Q: Will the BOA system fit my winter boots, and can I adjust it with gloves on?

  A: Yes, the BOA Fit System is designed to deliver a micro-adjustable fit on most winter boots. You can dial in the fit quickly, even while wearing gloves.

• Q: What is the heel lift, and when should I use it?

  A: The heel lift is a feature you can engage for steep ascents. It helps take some strain off your calves when climbing, and you can flip it down again for flatter terrain or descents.

• Q: How should I store and care for these snowshoes?

  A: Store them in a dry location. Let them dry out after use before putting them away to help keep the bindings and hardware in great shape.

• Q: Are these a good gift for someone who loves snowshoeing or winter hiking?

  A: Yes, they are a great option for someone who heads out on challenging winter trails and wants easy on and off adjustments. The BOA Fit System makes it simple to get a secure fit, and the heel lift and traction-focused design are especially appreciated on steeper routes.
