A Decent Snowshoe
Initial set up of the bindings is tricky but once set to your boots, they are easy on/easy off and secure. And you might want to use the instep strap for added security on steeper or off camber terrain.
They excel on established, broken trail under a heavy pack. Breaking trail under a pack is some effort. Except on hard/real ice the traction is outstanding, even off camber. Flotation is lacking in deep, loose snow, the tails help but don't overcome the inadequate flotation of the narrow rigid plastic decks. OTOH, it is easy to manoeuvre these under a heavy pack on tight trails, around (thru!) tree-falls or other obstructions. On sustained uphill sections of trail, the televators really shine.
Unburdened by a pack, you can fairly run and dance in them. They're perfect for day trips, minimizing post holing in bare boots.
They're keepers!
Been looking into getting snowshoes for a while and finally pulled the trigger on these. They fit perfectly, with the main front strap being a little tough to adjust initially, but working well once it was all squared away. The adjustability of the other straps is excellent and this makes sizing the shoes really simple.
The traction from the rails and the front teeth is out of this world! I do a lot of off-trail shoeing, going up some rather steep hills and slopes. These shoes hold like there's no tomorrow! I WOULD recommend the tails for these if there's any decent amount of powder, as even without a pack I sink in a decent amount (I'm only 155 lbs). Consequently, tails are on the way!
Overall, I'm VERY happy with these shoes and would recommend them to anyone who's looking to get a pair of snowshoes!
Great for all skill levels
I have these and I like their toughness and versatility. The bindings allow you to put them on considerably quicker than others that require 3-4 bindings. I have heard that the complexity of other binding systems allow for a more snug fit, but I have not had any problems, especially since it comes with an optional third binding that you can detach. My only complaint is that you REALLY have to becareful that you don't lose the clip for the optional binding cause it get lost. I wish it had a better way to attach, however i guess that wouldn't make it an optional binding.
MSR EVO Tour perfect for ADK trails
Evo Tour Review
I was a little hesitant to buy snowshoes that weren't "women specific," as I'm pretty small (5'6'', 115), but these are great! The bindings adjust to my feet perfectly, they are easy to get on and off, and they have great float in powder. I didn't buy the extra tails, and might look into that for serious backcountry snow shoeing, but for everyday taking the dog on a romp off trail, these are amazing!
