Atlas 12 Series

[alistair]

I need to replace my old trusty MSR snowshoes before next winter and I figure now is the time to do it. Has anyone had experience with the Atlas 12 Series?

I love them. I have the 1230 (or 1233s, I can never remember which they are called).

I just sent them back to Atlas after 3 very hard season for some minor refurbishing .

I can't say enough good things about them.

If you search the site, you'll find many good discussions about them and other snowshoes. There is even a poll of VFTTers showing preferences for brands.

good luck!

I have the same shoes - had them for 6 years now and they are still going strong.

Are they worth buying over the 10 Series?

i can only say good things about the 12's. i have the 1225's. the bindings are the best feature, they can climb bare rock if need be, and they are quiet. get 'em.

I chose the 12s over the 10s because, at the time, I found the ratchet bindings to be more comfortable and easier to use than the bindings on the 10s. I think the 12s are slightly heavier and maybe a bit beefier. I've been happy with them.
