Cheap SnowshoesSnowshoes can get rather expensive, especially if you’re looking for a pair that you can take off of the groomed trails and get a little more adventurous with. Snowshoeing is fun, after all, but part of the fun is taking them in to fresh, deep snow that hasn’t been trampled down yet. Sales are a good way to find cheap snowshoes, but if you’re not willing to wait for a good sale to come around, there are a few things you can look out for if you want a cheap pair of snowshoes to take with you.

Cheap Snowshoes

What to look for when what you want is cheap snowshoes.
  • Weight – One of the variables that tends to make snowshoes more expensive is weight. If you want lightweight snowshoes, that typically means more expensive materials, which makes the snowshoes more expensive. So heavier snowshoes will tend to cost less, though they will leave you a little more tired at the end of the day.
  • Plastic – The traditional snowshoe is an aluminum frame, and then a deck, or surface, made of a very tough nylon. There are, however, some pairs of snowshoes out there where the whole thing is plastic. And because they’re made from plastic they tend to be a little cheaper than the traditional design.

Best Cheap Snowshoes

Some of the very best cheap snowshoes for your consideration.
  • MSR Evo 22 Snowshoes - The Evo snowshoes are a fantastic example of using plastic, rather than the traditional aluminum and nylon, to create a snowshoe that is inexpensive without sacrificing performance. The recommended max weight for these is 180 pounds, though there are also attachable tails available that will raise that up to 250 pounds. They're also unisex, and surprisingly lightweight, at 3 pounds 7 ounces, or 1.55 kilograms. A fantastic pair of cheap snowshoes for men or women.
  • Atlas 9 Series FRS Snowshoes - Another pair of cheaper snowshoes, these with the more traditional aluminum frame and nylon deck. These come in two different lengths, the 25 inch size having a max weight of 200 pounds and the 30 inch versions having a max weight of 250 pounds. They're a full pound heavier than the Evos, however, at 4 pounds 7 ounces, or 2.01 kilograms. There's also a women's version available.
  • Tubbs Flex TRK Snowshoes - The Flex snowshoes from Tubbs are another example of a plastic deck and frame. They have a solid design, and plenty of traction from the crampons. They will take up to 190 pounds, and weigh 3 pounds 8 ounces, which is 1.63 kilograms. And there is a women's version too.
