TSL

  • What does TSL mean?

    It was during a trip to North America in the early 1980’s, the founder of TSL discovered snowshoeing. When he returned to his native Thônes in Haute-Savoie, France, and saw himself surrounded by a landscape of good, fresh snow, he was inspired to adopt these snowshoes and make them out of plastic. This is how TSL came to be: TSL stands for Thônes Sport Loisirs. And a few years later, TSL became Technique Sport Loisirs.
     

TSL SNOWSHOES

  • Choosing the perfect snowshoe for you

    Each snowshoe is made up of 3 key elements:
    • Decking: to bear your weight, keep you above the snow and maintain your grip. It can be rigid or flexible.
    • The bindings: for comfort and a secure fit
    • The crampons and point: to keep your traction on a variety of different snow types and slopes.
    Choose your model according to your body and how you intend to use your snowshoes. Don’t forget, you can also use our snowshoe selection guide!

  • What is the blocker on the snowshoe bindings for ?

    The primary function of a binding lock on beginner-level TSL snowshoes is to make storage and transport easier. It can be used on rare occasions for reassuring beginners during a descent or for walking backwards in certain conditions.
    For high-end snowshoes, the ergonomic design – which facilitates a natural walking style – is enhanced thanks not only to the telescopic bindings but also to the frames; rocker frames on our Highlander model or super-flexible frames on our Symbioz model. Walking with the binding locked in place is counter-productive when trying to achieve a natural walking style, which is why you won’t find this feature on these models.

  • Where are the TSL snowshoes manufactured ?

    In France, of course !
    Our production sites are located in the Haute-Savoie region.
