Can anyone please give me the Pro's and Con's on these things. My family is wanting to buy me one of these, but I am not sure which is best for me. I am an avid hiker, who loves to snowshoe. I would not say anything I do is close to Mountaineering, but love to push myself both physically and mentally. The steeper the better for me... Summer or Winter, rain, snow or sun. PLEASE HELP ME OUT! Thank you.
