GV is a purely Canadian company, with their base of operations located in Quebec. The crampons were fine no bending or dents, not even scuffed paint. When we were done, we did a thorough inspection of the bottoms of the snowshoes. We were a little worried about what might happen to the crampons as we crossed.

During our outing the other night, we had to cross a bare patch of paved road. The crampons feel sturdy and offer great grip when traveling up or down inclines. Good job on reducing plastic waste GV you get extra points for that one. The company states that the Entech™ decks are more durable, can resist extreme temperatures down to -50° Celsius (-58° Fahrenheit), prevents friction on the deck bottom and generates 50% less plastic waste. The decks of the snowshoes are made of a durable plastic that uses Entech™ technology. The frames are not dented in any way though. To be fair, rocks and fallen tree stumps are very hard surfaces, even more so in the frigid winter temperatures. I have noticed that after a few treks out in various different terrain types, the coating or paint on the frame has gotten a little scratched in places. The frame is made of strong, lightweight aluminum. It means you’re actually able to walk normally while they’re on your feet. The narrow design of the snowshoes is great. Voilà! The strap has released your foot from its sturdy clutches. Want to loosen the straps? Just grip the wings on the side of the ratchet lever and pull. The ball of your foot should be sitting at the pivot joint near the front of the binding.

However, this isn’t hard to figure out and comes with a little practice. Without the toe bucket, you have to position your foot by sight and feel. The toe bucket sits at the front of the binding and is a quick indicator that your foot is positioned properly in the binding. The only minor annoyance when putting these snowshoes on, is that there is no toe bucket to use as a guide.

All you have to do is stick your foot into the binding, tighten both straps using the ratchet buckles (so that they’re snug) and tighten the heel strap.

They’re so easy to tighten and loosen that you can even work the buckles while wearing thick winter gloves.

One of the biggest selling features for me here is the ratchet buckle system. They’re not entry level, but they’re also not in the expensive, super-decked-out-high-end category. The GV Mountain Trail snowshoes are a good mid-level snowshoe. Crampons will give you the grip you need on slippery hills.
