First, back country sleds are made of strong plastic material, with the snow-side surface possessing various grooves and chines for directional control. Second, the plastic construction, with a large amount of snow-side surface area keeps the sled afloat in deeper snow conditions (the same principle behind wider powder skis or snowboards).
Inflatable sled or tube, a plastic membrane filled with air to make a very lightweight sled, like an inner tube; Foam slider, a flat piece of durable foam with handles and a smooth underside; Backcountry sled, a deep, steerable plastic sled to kneel on with pads and a seat belt; Airboard, a snow bodyboard, i.e. an inflatable single-person sled [15]
Horizontal band knife blades are wider usually 30–60 mm (1.2–2.4 in) wide for foam converting is popular, for leather goods 40–50 mm (1.6–2.0 in) wide blade is popular, 85–110 mm (3.3–4.3 in) width is popular for the tannery splitting band knife. There are other widths depending on the machine manufacturer.
One can have a passenger or luggage on the chair seat. The kicksled can also be used as a dog sled. A kicksled is designed to be used on hard, slippery surfaces like ice or hardpacked snow. To kicksled in deeper, more powdery snow, extra-wide plastic snow runners are attached to the standard, thin runners of the sled.

Research was conducted in Össur's Iceland lab using a pressure-sensitive treadmill and film at 500 fps to measure the blade strike, and produced a spike pad which includes a midsole of two machine-molded pieces of foam of different densities to cushion impact, with a carbon fibre plate on the bottom. The developers attached the pad with ...
The packing and lashing of a sled is an art. Weight must be carried low on the sled, to reduce the risk of tipping. Ingenious structures and materials are used to protect the passengers and hunters build small sleek versions to permit fast day trips. The qamutiik were traditionally hauled by trained dog teams.
