Getting your player ready...
The thing about snowshoeing is that you need more than just snowshoes. You need actual shoes too. Realistically, boots.
That’s where Garmont’s new Momentum Snow GTX boots (MSRP: $140) come in. These waterproof winter boots are high-performance tools disguised as light hikers.
They are lightweight — weighing about 550 grams (or less than a bottle of beer) each — while somehow managing to insulate to temperatures as low as 25 below. A full Gore-Tex membrane keeps feet dry, and a high cuff and gusseted tongue fend off drifting snow. A grippy rubber outsole offers ample traction (even on ice) with or without the addition of snowshoes, for those interested in simply hitting the streets of Denver.
