With micro-serrated 3D-Curved Traction Rails and the ActiveLift™ heel lift, the FLEX ALP devours steep, icy terrain, and the new, streamlined deck shape enhances maneuverability in tight situations.
Tubbs’ FLEX Series snowshoes are the culmination of years of research, testing and engineering to create the most ergonomic and comfortable snowshoe on the market.
An industry first, the patented FLEX Tail™ design absorbs impact from heel strike and allows the foot to roll naturally from heel to toe. The end of result of this design is less stress and strain on the muscles and joints in your foot, and a more natural walking stride.
With other important features like Torsion Deck, curved traction rails, and a Soft Strike™ zone, Tubbs didn’t sacrifice performance for comfort. The FLEX Series snowshoes are optimized for walking on packed and variable snow with a lightweight, compact design, and they excel in everything from established trails to icy alpine conditions.

Features
| • In packed or variable snow conditions the FLEX snowshoes are appropriate for all weights. In powder snow conditions the womens' models are best up to 165 lbs. |
| • The ergonomically and biomechanically designed FLEX Tail absorbs shock from heel strike, reducing the amount of stress on your joints and allowing you to snowshoe farther, longer and with less stress on your body. |
| • Tubbs’ advanced Torsion Deck™ design adapts to variable snow conditions underfoot. The decks allow torsional articulation throughout the body of the snowshoe, enhancing traction, biomechanics and comfort on uneven terrain. |
| • Rotating Toe Cord design enables the tail of the snowshoe to drop and snow to shed off the tail, reducing cardio-respiratory strain by 7%. |
| • The underfoot pivot point also allows the toe traction teeth to bite deeply into the snow when weighted. A rotation limiter prevents over-rotation and shin bang. |
| • Gender specific, asymmetric ActiveFLEX™ binding featuring patented Control Wings™ provides lightweight control, support, comfort and ease of use. |
| • Carbon steel toe crampon, ergonomically placed under foot, maximizes weighted traction and responsiveness while 3D curved Traction Rails ensure superior side-hill grip in hard or icy conditions. |
| • Progressive molded Snow Brakes, on the deck as well as the Soft Strike zone, improve weighted traction. |
| • Viper™ 2.0 carbon steel toe crampon with jagged tooth construction maximizes weighted traction and responsiveness. |
