Kahtoola's FLIGHTsystem, featuring the FLIGHTboot and FLIGHTdeck combination, makes it easy to keep running-shoe clad feet warm and dry while strapped into snowshoes.

January 2007 - Kahtoola's FLIGHTsystem, featuring the FLIGHTboot and FLIGHTdeck combination, makes it easy to keep running-shoe clad feet warm and dry while strapped into snowshoes. The FLIGHTboot is an insulated 6mm waterproof neoprene bootie that slips on over your trail shoes. A quick-ratcheting strap over your instep snugly secures your running shoes in the boots. As a stand-alone traction system, with half-inch-long spikes in the forefoot and heel, the FLIGHTboots give excellent grip on hard-packed snow or icy terrain.

When venturing onto the soft stuff, simply step the FLIGHTboots into the FLIGHTdeck snowshoes, which are available in two sizes. The smaller FLIGHTdeck is the Gyspy, and for those needing more floatation, there is the larger Gemini.

If you hit firmer snow, give a quick tug on a ripcord to release the overboot from the snowshoe, strap the FLIGHTdecks to your pack and go.
