Perks
The light weight of the snowshoes as well as the strap binding system make use and compatibility with most boots easy. The heel lift is easy to engage with a trekking or ski pole on the fly, and the tapered design makes walking more natural.
Sacrifices
The straps can be prone to breaking, especially with excessive cranking to tighten to the boots. Buy an extra strap and keep it on hand for your snowshoeing trips. Decks can gouge, but gouges will not detract from performance.
Bottom Line
The MSR Denali Evo Ascent snowshoes are lightweight, compatible with a wide range of boots and great for any snowshoeing or mountaineering trip from day hikes to Denali. Durability is maximum and the integrated heel lift makes ascents a breeze.
