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. To start, the binding on the FLEX NRG is a cinch to use. Slip you foot into the binding and adjust the straps on the top of the foot and the heel gives a snug fit. You are off onto a trek before you even feel the cold blustery weather. 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.
