Love! No Issues For Female Gait, Easy And Lightweight

I had not owned snow shoes in a long time and was skeptical of how bulky or heavy they would feel. These are amazing! I am a female, average height and build and had contemplating ordering Women's specific shoes, but I have a 9W shoe size so opted for the standard snow shoe. I was not disappointed. I had no problems walking in these, they did not get tangled or clip each other when walking. I was carrying a pack and was not sinking in the soft spring snow. Easy to take on and off when I was in between snow terrains. I was able to climb uphill in the snowy woods fine and did not notice the weight.

Great These Replaced A Pair

Great these replaced a pair I have had for 12 years which have over 1000 miles on them and have been on al the peaks in the north east

Indestructible!

I love my Evo Ascent snowshoes and have put them to the test on many tough climbs! They are super-easy to put on and take off on all of my boots, big and small. The steel rails always provide secure footing even on rock-hard snow. The heel lifts are easy to engage with a trekking pole and turn steep slopes in to a walk in the park. Best of all, they are indestructible! I never worry about them when crossing rocky terrain. Here's a picture of me (on the right) in my Evo Ascent's after a successful climb of Denali,.

Best Snowshoes For Denali And Alpine Mountaineering

The best snowshoe for Denali and other alpine altitude mountains! Very lightweight and strong straps to hold your triple insulated boots in all conditions. The heel risers were a must! Easy to engage and stow. Love my snowshoes!

Nearly Perfect

I've used these twice so far and overall am very happy with my purchase. The heel lift bar is a must-have, the traction is great, they feel super durable, and they definitely stay in place. The only thing left to be desired is the straps. Other shoes have a boa system which is more convenient than these straps, but it's really just an issue of convenience and nothing else. Nothing wrong with them, but could be better, that's all.

Not In My Possession

Sorry, I cannot answer any questions because I gave them as a Christmas gift to my son—-- which was very well received. If he has any comments or problems, I’ll let you know if you send more surveys.

The Best Snowshoes

These are the best snowshoes. Slim so you don’t catch them on eachother. Super light weight. The cost is a Great price. Very durable. Easy to grab and get after it. I went for an all day trip in the mountains with there. One downside is the straps sometimes fall off but it’s a very minor issue

Caution Large Or Wide Boot Sizes

These shoes do not work with men's boot sizes 14 and above - more so if you wear a wide size. The boot toe box is too wide to pass through the opening preventing the mechanics of the shoe to work properly.

I Have Used Them On

I have used them on 4 Adirondack High Peaks Hikes, There great!

Bryan

As someone who wears a size 15 winter boot this is the ONLY pair of snowshoes that I could find that fit. It just so happens that they work really well.

Good Product

Bought these to replace a pair that broke. Would liked to have gotten replacement parts but MSR never returned inquires for spare parts via the website.

Verified Purchase

Excellent Snowshoes

I bought these for my son for Christmas for Alaska. Lots of snow and lots of ice. He likes to explore the back country Excellent traction and work well In Deep snow!

Strap Issues

Before buying please read the reviews for the replacement straps. You have been warned!

Great Snowshoe! Durable And Versatile

These are great snowshoes. Very versatile and durable and can handle everything from casual hikes on flat terrain to relatively technical steep terrain (I'm located in the Rocky Mtns). I see some people have issues with the bindings, but I think they work great. They are easy to snug up and I've never had any comfort or retention issues. I carry an extra strap on me in the event one snaps. They also have the ability to be field repaired better than other snowshoes (the televator bail can be used in the event one of the binding pins breaks at the decking). I'm close to 200 lbs. and run them as-is with no tails and they still have decent flotation, even in the dry Colorado snowpack. I highly recommend them.
