The first heavy snowfall can bring your fitness regimen to a grinding halt. Road running now gives you the added obstacle of dodging oncoming snowplows. Trail running can be much more difficult. The freezing and thawing of the packed surfaces on the trails can make it more apt for making mud pies than running.

A regimen of snowshoeing can keep you active during the dreary winter months. The Tubbs FLEX NRG offers a solid snowshoe for day hiking. Tubbs has integrated it latest technology to make the FLEX NRG comfortable for even longer day hikes than some of its competitors.

The FLEX NRG has great FLEXibility. The FLEXing-ability of the tail makes the FLEX NRG feel natural when hiking. The natural feel allows you to cover more terrain than comparable snowshoes. The FLEXible tail on the FLEX NRG alleviates the stress on your feet and body. The added benefit from the FLEX NRG really is apparent with longer treks since it reduced the amount of fatigue and recovery time after a long day of trekking.

Tubbs also has developed curved traction rails with differing sized teeth. This design reduces the chance that the snowshoes will slip on a snowy surface. The curved traction rails complement the FLEXible tail and also allow the FLEX NRG to provide a natural walking and hiking feel.

The Tubbs FLEX NRG are a superior snowshoe for day hiking. They are designed to be used on regularly traveled trails and are not geared for hiking through deep untouched powder of the backcountry. Tubbs offers the snowshoes in one size – 24 inches. The Tubbs FLEX NRG snowshoes retail for $179.95.
