    Snowshoe questions

    Though this is still August, I got myself a pair of showshoes. Two pair, in fact. Sherpa Snow Claw. Now I can't find ANY information on them anywhere on the net, it seems. I guess Sherpa closed up shop? What are your experiences with these? Opinions? Suggestions? Thanks!
