Why are the Evo and Denali Ascent Snowshoes LESS expensive than the Lightning ascent, especially when Evo and Denali are advertised as being the most durable/tough backcountry shoe? what are the differences?

The MSR Denali Evo and Ascent shoes are the most durable. This is their best attribute. The Lightning Ascents on the other hand are lighter and more difficult to manufacturer. They also offer better traction. Usually when you combine 'lighter' and 'better performance', it also means more expensive. The Lightning Ascents are MSR's flagship snowshoe.Th plastic material on the Evos also gets pretty banged up around the edges after a few years. The lightning has an aluminum frame which will not really get damage much over time. Perhaps that's the reason for the price disparity.
