Understanding Snowshoe Sizing

One of the most important factors to consider when shopping for snowshoes is proper sizing. The size of snowshoe you'll need is determined by several key factors, including your body weight, the weight of your pack and gear, and the type of snow conditions you'll typically encounter. Lighter, fluffier powder snow requires larger snowshoes for adequate flotation, while packed or crusted snow allows smaller sizes.

Our knowledgeable staff at Alpenglow makes snowshoe sizing straightforward, helping you select the appropriate size based on your specific needs. Generally, snowshoes are sized in inches (like 22", 25", or 30"), with larger sizes providing more flotation for heavier loads or deeper snow conditions. Don't hesitate to reach out for sizing guidance—proper fit dramatically affects your snowshoeing comfort and efficiency.

Essential Snowshoe Accessories

Complete your winter adventure setup with our selection of snowshoeing accessories designed to enhance comfort, convenience, and safety. The MSR Snowshoe Carry Pack holds all your essentials for snowshoe adventures while doubling as a versatile day pack for other outdoor pursuits. Keep snow out of your boots with our selection of gaiters from brands like Kahtoola, including the INSTAgaiter Mid and LEVAgaiter GTX models that provide waterproof protection in various heights.

Don't forget neck warmers and face protection from Buff, ensuring you stay comfortable during cold weather excursions. Our accessory collection covers every detail, from trekking poles that provide stability on varied terrain to hydration systems that prevent freezing in winter conditions.
