MSR

Revo Explore Snowshoe - Men's

Light, but rugged. Makes you sure footed

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

Size Bought:

22”

These snowshoes are the “best of breed” for the MSR line. They are light on the feet for a day of backcountry shoeing, breaking trail, or climbing. Yet extremely rugged and take a pounding and twisting and still aggressively bite into the ice and snow and make you sure footed. Third pair I own, and have bought dozens of other pairs of various MSR shoes. The toe bindings make for quick in and out and don’t bind/crush your toes like the old straps do. The elevator bars are always a plus when climbing. The teeth all around the edge, and the snow brakes underneath are also a plus. I highly recommend that you try them.

Excellent on icy slopes

Excellent grip on icy slopes while simultaneously good flotation in the deeper snow. Easy on and off.

Light , good quality but with a default

The snowshoes ripped my snowpants with the small pin of the heel ( helper to climb mountain)

Revo Explore

I have spent countless hours in snowshoes. I hike, hunt, and work my maple syrup bush with them. I always ran with what I thought was a great snowshoe until I tried my Revo. The grip, comfort, and lightweight blew me away. When I think of the miles and miles Ive walked, I can't believe I just never knew how much better it could have been. Shame on me.

My Fav

I have used these almost every weekend during winter for 3 years, and I love them. I live in Western Colorado, and have tested these to their limit. The only issue I am having is that the springs on my bindings tend to pop out, which can make tightening my straps on the trail kinda tricky. This started happening after year 2 of use. However, I can say that the ratchet function is the single best thing about these, and it makes them stand out from the competition. I do a lot of backcountry snowshoeing in deep snow, uphill, downhill, over trees, whatever you can imagine. I just really like snowshoeing, okay?? Lol. Anyway, these have held up miraculously well, and outperformed every other snowshoe that my friends wore during our adventures. They all use the traditional strap system, and their shoes simply won't stay on. In deep snow, the snow pushes their straps off the hook, or the snow packs in between the shoe and the strap, or the strap breaks. Not so with these. The straps fall off maybe once a month, in seriously weird conditions. I cannot say enough how much I love these! As a short female, though, I look forward to upgrading this year into the women's version so that I can try out that narrower stride. I do often step on my own shoes because I am very smol. Other than the buckle spring and my own extreme smolness, there is nothing I would do to change these shoes. I would recommend to anyone who wants to go off of a groomed trail.

awesome snowshoes, love the ratchet

Revo Explore 25

Just received mine and they look great. Just noticed the 4 little empty holes on the front edge. The black plastic cutouts leaves them accessible. Is there a function for these, like an add-on product?

Easy to put on. Packs

Easy to put on. Packs away very well. All around great!

Easy to use binding system

Easy to use binding system with good grip in a variety of conditions. Highly recommended.

COULD BE BETTER

I've been on four snowshoes hikes with my Revo Explore snowshoes. I think the straps should be twice as thick, and the ratchet controls and releases should be bigger and easier to operate with gloves or mittens. I think these snowshoes were designed by people sitting at computers instead of snowshoeing on trails.
