Kahtoola Flightdeck: A Snow Trekking Combo Pack

created at: 2010/01/25

I love combo gear-buying just one peice that serves several functions is great. Multifuncional gear saves money, saves pack space and weight, and it's pretty fun to show off. Example-Kahtoola's Flightdeck TS.

Tromping around in the wintertime can be a complicated matter. With snow and ice comes a wide range of terrain, from hip-deep powder to slick, rock-hard ice, and packing a traction system for every variety of ice that you may have to walk on can be overwhelming.

Kahtoola solves this problem with their Flightdeck TS showshoe, a step-in snowshoe with the Skyhook traction system (TS) a bonus over-the-boot crampon for slick terrain. The traction system slips over your boot and clicks right into the snowshoe. It's great for tromping through powder, and if the terrain gets slick, just click out of the snowshoes and the traction system will keep you upright. Find some more pow? Step back in and float right over it.

Saves money, saves weight, what's not to like?

I agree--multifunctional gear is where it's at. These Kahtoolas are a great idea.
