The TSL HIGHLANDER INSTINCT snowshoes with the new fully adjustable BOA binding are powerful and comfortable snowshoes for really demanding adventurers. Thanks to many spikes and side rows of teeth, they really have an excellent grip even in the most demanding conditions such as ice or firn.

Last but not least, you will also appreciate the high-tech design, which you will immediately fall in love with. The design of the TSL HIGHLANDER INSTINCT snowshoes also respects the important ergonomics of snowshoes, which is so important for difficult transitions.

HIGHLANDER frame – great grip and ergonomics. For the demanding.
Fully adjustable BOA® FIT SYSTEM – In addition to the ease of use, a big benefit of the fully adjustable BOA® FIT system is the even distribution of the load on the entire shoe, so that no part of the shoe is overloaded.
Hourglass shape - thanks to the ergonomic shape of the snowshoes, they fit together when walking, and there is no need to walk wide, nor is there a risk of the other snowshoe catching on the other.
Adjusting the binding size with a safety device - it is fast, safe and does not allow the binding to move while walking.
Tightening and loosening the strap around the ankle - can be done easily with one hand using the ratchet.
The pre-adjustment of the strap around the ankle is possible thanks to the lock and the shoes are quick and comfortable whether you use hiking or snowboard boots.
Knock damper - it is located under the heel and eliminates the unpleasant sound when stepping on it.
Practical packaging - the snowshoes are supplied with a textile packaging, which is suitable for their transport, storage and protects your other equipment from being cut by the spikes or teeth of the snowshoes.

HIGHLANDER type frame

At first glance, the HIGHLANDER impresses with its "high-tech" design, which only underlines the excellent grip on all types of snow (crust, wet snow, ice). The TSL HIGHLANDER snowshoes are designed for adventurers who often go off-trail and need a powerful snowshoe for challenging and steep terrain.

• ROCKER - the rear rocker helps to guide the foot in the right direction and to walk easily on flat and inclined terrain.
• STRUCTURED FRAME – the structured frame and transverse moldings are a guarantee of excellent snowshoe guidance on both soft and compact snow.
• LATERAL GRIPS - the snowshoe has a line of teeth on each longitudinal side that help the grip when walking up and down.
• FRONT GRIP – the sharp spikes in the front moving part of the binding are made of stainless steel and shaped so that even the steepest ice lines are not a problem.
• CRAMPONS – the front part of the snowshoe frame is equipped with permanently installed pure steel jacks.
• CONTACT GRIP – spikes in the rear rocker are made of composite material, they help grip and spread snow during descent. This technology is patented by TSL.

New all-fastening BOA® FIT SYSTEM

Thanks to the new all-fastening BOA® FIT system, putting on snowshoes has never been easier. The toe and heel of the binding are connected, and by simply tightening the system on the toe, the entire shoe will be tightened in the binding. In addition to the ease of use, a great benefit of the BOA® FIT system is the even distribution of the load on the entire shoe, so that no part of the shoe is overloaded.

Adjustable heel

TSL snowshoe heels allow adaptation to any long footwear so that the load on the heels is always under the heel. The heel forms an angle of 12° with the snow shoe. The heel can be easily and conveniently activated and deactivated with the tip of a hiking stick.

Invest in snowshoes that will last you a really long time

You don't buy TSL snowshoes for 2 or 3 seasons, but for many demanding seasons. They are also used in rental companies for 10 to 15 years ! Their high durability lies in the quality of production, which takes place in the French Alps about an hour's drive from Chamonix. The production is in-house and, among other things, it also produces parts for automobiles or for AIRBUS aircraft manufacturers.

Honest materials and local sustainable production and service

The plastic granulate comes from the Netherlands and is also used for the production of ski boots. Another guarantee of a long service life is the availability of spare parts for a period of 20 years. Every part of the snowshoe can be unscrewed and replaced. Nothing is pressed because that would complicate the service. TSL snowshoes are again assembled in our own production in the city of Annecy, which is about 30 minutes away from the press factory. Local employees work here in a friendly atmosphere, some for more than 20 years.
