For flat-out innovation, only one company had the media horde buzzing: the Kahtoola FLIGHTsystem™.
October 2006 - Long known for its lightweight crampons, Kahtoola can truly revolutionize snow travel. The key is the FLIGHTboot™, a neoprene, studded overshoe that allows you to wear any of your favorite running or hiking shoe and still have awesome traction for all but the deepest snow. In fact, the boot design should be more stable than traditional snowshoes on sideslope travel. And for powder, the FLIGHTsystem adds a step-in snowshoe deck that is utterly simple to use. The whole thing makes so much sense, and delivers so much versatility, that it makes you wonder why no one has thought of it before. —Gordon Wright
