review and comparison with tubbs after one outing
Our household ordered one pair of the Crescent Moon Silver 13s and one pair of the Tubbs Women's Wilderness 21 inch snowshoes. The snowshoes are built differently, with the CM's having a more tapered appearance and the Tubbs being rounder.
We tried these showshoes out together in the eastern sierra this past weekend on a 3-hour hike that included steep terrain and some crusty snow, paired with some Leki hiking poles that were retrofitted with snow baskets. On both snowshoes, the bindings were easy to fit and stayed snug. The crampons dug in and held. The CMs threw a little more snow off the back end than the Tubbs did, but this may have been a matter of technique.
The decking on the Tubbs appears to be sturdier, but the CMs were more than up to the task. I wouldn't hesitate to take them out again or loan them to a friend to try. It's too soon to say how they'll hold up over time, but we really appreciate that the CMs are made in Colorado and that the company tries to be as eco-conscious as possible in its use of materials.

Easy and Comfortable
This is the first pair of snowshoes that I have bought and I definitely enjoy them. They are easy to get into and were comfortable during the hikes that I have recently taken. The bindings are easy to adjust and comfortably accommodated my 7.5 size foot. Sturdy and well-made - I highly recommend them

Love them!
This is my first pair and they are so easy to use. Light weight, natural stride and very comfortable. I could have gone for hours!!
