The Wait is over, the Redfeather Adult Conquest 25
is now available.
I had a chance to get my hands on the newest Conquest snowshoes, these are priced under $70 at Amazon and work great. They are so sweet compared to the regular snowshoe designs.
The frame is unbreakable in reasonable situations, I stood on the frame with two blocks on each end and stood on the middle.
These are Made In the USA
Mfg Specs:
CRAMPONS: Agressive toe and heel crampons are powder-coated to shed snow and ice.
FRAME: Injection-molded nylon | Grey
DECKING: Injection-molded nylon that’s been strategically reinforced using Finite Element Analysis for optimum strength-to-weight ratio.
BINDINGS: CROSS COUNTRY: Ultra-light made from Hypalon II and urethane straps which cinch down to any running shoe or light hiking boot for flexibility and large range of motion.
HINGE: Live-Action Hinge lifts the tail of the shoe from the snow with every step – for added mobility and speed.
Here is the copy from the Manufacturer with my comments:
Product Description
Redfeather's® Conquest 25" is an injection-molded adult snowshoe that was designed using FEA technology for exact placement of reinforcement structures to optimize strength and durability without adding weight. One size meets the needs of most casual snowshoers, and the shoe is molded with a raised tail for a more natural stride. It features an aggressive-grip heel plate and powder-coated crampons for added traction and snow shedding.
Injection molded snowshoes are the wave of the future!
these are GREEN products as well, Made from 100% recyclable Nylon!
NOTE: the specs show that these are good up to 175lbs, NOT TRUE they are great up to 210lbs. You may lose a little float but they can be used by the entire family.
Overall rating 5 Stars, these are very versatile!

How does it stack up to the other brands:
Compared to: Tubbs Flex ALP 24- inch Men's Snowshoes
Well they look similar, These are a nice Snowshoe, Compact Design decks and the comfortable and secure ActiveFLEX binding almost 3 times the price. Nicer Binding.
Compared to:Tubbs Snowshoes Women's Frontier Snowshoes
These are a Women's popular snowshoe, nice again but really expensive in comparison.
Compared to: MSR Denali Evo Ascent Snowshoes
They say it is designed to Walk Easier: Tapered tip and tail make walking easier and more natural. Versatile: 6 Evo flotation tails (sold separately) allow you to fine-tune your snowshoes to meet changing conditions and pack weight. again 3 times the price and you have to buy something in addition for heavier users! what if it falls off in the snow.
Final Words
The best deal is the Redfeather Adult Conquest 25
