Why We Like The Helium BC Snowshoe
We like the Atlas Helium BC Snowshoe because it prioritizes weight savings to keep our legs fresh and allow us to venture further than ever into the backcountry. The Helium Crampon provides traction despite being the lightest crampon in the line, meanwhile the composite helium deck sheds snow, allowing us to keep moving forward.

High expectations
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
When I first got the snowshoes I was very impressed the binding system is very secure once you get used to using them. No hotspots or pinching in the snow shoes are extremely light which is very nice on longer hikes. Unfortunately on my third hike after 20 or so miles I noticed the rear of my left snowshoe was curling up like a canoe. After stopping to take a closer look I noticed the two rivets holding the back of the side traction rails to the plastic deck pulled through their plastic mounts. My wife has the same snowshoes but at the same time but the smaller version hers seem to be fine at the time but after getting home and closer examination we saw one of hers and pulled through the plastic melt at the same point. We are hoping we got a bad pair for my bad batch of plastic as these are our favorite snowshoes in very light with good traction. I know this is the first year with the red plastic decking and I don't know if they get the plastic from another source we are currently starting the warranty process I will update after this is complete in if the snow shoes hold up. If the breaking in durability was a fluke these would be a five star snowshoe.
