Esker Tundra Snowshoe Kit
A versatile stride across open ground
The Esker Tundra Snowshoe is a long-form traditional snowshoe designed for efficient travel across open terrain.
Its extended profile creates a smooth, steady stride, tracking straight while offering a balance of glide and flotation. Well suited for long-distance travel, hunting, and moving across open forest and northern landscapes.
Constructed with a flexible wooden frame and hand-woven rawhide, it provides natural movement and dependable flotation in deep snow. Built without plastics, it remains reliable in cold weather and can be repaired and maintained over time.
Leather bindings shape to your boot for a secure, enduring fit in the backcountry.
