Hi looking for a pair of snowshoes. Looking for my first pair. I love MSR gear. Are these a good pair of snowshoes? I want a pair that will last for a long time.

Tom, first, I would hands down recommend the MSR snowshoes - they are super durable because they don't have many parts and the deck is the frame (unlike many other snowshoes where there is a frame that is somehow attached to a decking material and that attachment point is a usual failure point). However, depending where you live/plan to go I'd recommend either the Tour or the Ascent: Tour: flat areas and rolling terrain - they are aptly named the Tour. Ascent: steep slopes, hiking, (their binding system is simpler and more stable and secure for steeper stuff). Hope this helps.
