Durable and easy to use, the Evo Explore snowshoes are ready for years of adventures. The UniBody frames and steel traction rails offer the essential grip needed for even modest slopes in less than ideal conditions. Paradigm Bindings are incredibly comfortably and easy to use, utilizing a stretch mesh upper to remove pressure points, toe stops so your feet are always in the right position, and easy to adjust buckles to accomodate a wide range of footwear, from hiking boots to snowboard boots. Televator heel risers are easy to use with a glove-friendly pull tab and reduce fatigue when the terrain gets steep. 22-inch snowshoes measure 8 x 22 inches and weigh 3.75 pounds and carry a load up to 180 pounds. For additional weight capacity or extra soft snow, add on the MSR Evo Tails (sold separately) for additional floatation. Maximize maneuverability with the smallest snowshoe that will float body weight/gear load (outerwear, backpack, trekking poles). MSR snowshoes are designed, engineered and made to exacting standards in the USA with the highest quality U.S. and imported materials to perform reliably in winter conditions.
