GV, official Canadian Army Forces snowshoes supplier

GV Snowshoes has been selected by the Canadian Forces to develop and manufacture a High Tech snowshoe to serve Canadian soldier's needs. Two years of R&D has been necessary to develop and deliver a unique magnesium snowshoe frame. They requested our Energy Saver TM patent pivot system as a key feature; the same one you will find on most GV snowshoes. The confidence they showed in us and the great satisfaction they had with the final product is the greatest proof that GV Snowshoes produces only top quality products.

GV Snowshoes is proud to be the official Canadian Army Forces snowshoes supplier.
