MSR Evo Ascent Snowshoe
Worth Every Penny!
By Erich Knaak
Ranked #486 - Backcountry Snowboarding
December 9, 2008
I put a whole bunch of miles on these snowshoes in the WA Cascades this year both with and without a huge winter camping pack. The televators are awesome. Until I had a very long, very steep, serious ascent I wasn't a believer but after a few steps I flipped them up and was AMAZED at how awesome they work! Others in my group were smoked at the top but I was feeling groovy. The decks are indestructible but get scratched up. Battle scars. The grip is great on uneven snow/ice. They twist a bit in late-season corn but what wouldn't? These shoes are very easy to strap down to your pack. The only part I see failing is where the binding hinges on the shoe. An extra pin and split ring might be worth carrying and for this kind of scratch should be included. Buy these, go out, be happy!
