>>2857299>>2857468I think the weight rating is more a matter of the amount of provided float, unless you're drastically over the rated weight. I know that out here in the northeast we don't really have 5+ feet of powder so float is less important than traction for us, at least for more "technical" hiking snowshoes. I could be completely wrong on the weight ratings though.
>>2857623Several inches is fine, you aren't going to float on the very surface without pretty large shoes especially with a heavier bag on.
