Atlas is a good brand.
Don't pinch pennies as the el cheapos will not hold up and it's money thrown away.
That is perfect advice!!! If you buy cheap ones, not only will your legs feel it but they will not hold up!!
Bought a pair of TUBBS last year, put on 12 miles chasing coyotes the very first day I wore them, never felt better walking in snow. I wore them at least 30+ days in the feild last year and more than 200 miles total. They never fail in any way!!! The bindings were bad ass, fast on and even faster off. They are tight and never had ANY issues with them feeling uncomfortable. I got the 30" model and i'm about 185lbs. The 36" would not have been to big, but I wanted small a compact for hunting mode. In fact, as i'm wrighting this my wife strapped them on and is out walking the dogs now. She is small, and they don't fit perfectly but she flies across the top like nothing!!
I think I paid about $160.00 for them, if I had to buy new ones today and they were $250.00 I wouldn't even think twice.
