MSR Denali Evo Snowshoe

 Brand : MSR
Item : CAS0233
MSR introduces a sleek, new snowshoe this season, the Denali Evo. This premier snowshoe has the same great traction and modular design as the Denali Classic, but with a beefed-up deck, binding, and crampon for improved performance and usability. Steel traction blades, crampons, and molded braking bars in the deck yield UNMATCHED traction, not to mention peace of mind on steep, death-ice pitches. A new stand-up binding by MSR makes the Denali Evo super easy to get in and out, and still folds down for easy packing and storage. The Evo deck with a tapered tip and tail allows you to walk with a more natural gait so you're not doing the “Franken-stride”. A crampon extension plate eliminates heel drift while the 4-strap binding locks your foot in for a great fit and secure attachment to the snowshoe.

MSR Denali Evo Snowshoe



Denali EVOs
Great. The manufacturer's hype was right this time. You can walk with a near normal gait without stepping on these snowshoes. They are sure footed for climbing and descents, and great on the packed trails I'm usually on. Less great on fresh snow, better with the add on tail, but even with the 6in tail I still feel I sink a bit more than with other shoes. However, I'm usually not on fresh snow. Not that happy with the binding system. Too floppy and doesn't always stay put. Easier to get out of than into. I rented a lot before buying and these are still better than others I've tried for the way I use them.


Up the Mountain, Down the Mountain
I found out about your wonderful snowshoes from a fellow I met while climbing Mt. Bierstadt, in Colorado. I was using borrowed, inefficient snowshoes, getting nowhere except frustrated. I went home that night, ordered my Denali snowshoes, received them 4 days later, and climbed Sentinel Point the next weekend. What a difference!! Straight up and down, deep snow, 9 hours, no problems. Fantastic!


MSR does it again.
I've rented MSR classic snowshoes before and have always liked them. After reading reviews and researching, I decided these were the shoes for me. The big selling point was the taper that allows a more natural walk rather than having to "Frankenstein" it. Even with the 6-inch tails I never hit my shoes like I did before. These are great for the weekend warrior getting out on trails. Even in deep fresh snow they worked well. The binding system is very flexible and adjusts to an array of different shoe styles. I like the option of hiking up in my snowboarding boots and then boarding down. That eliminates the need to carry two pairs of boots. The straps can flap around if not adjusted properly, but I haven't had any problems with them coming undone. I like how they pack down small and are easy on weight. Best of all they made by a company that is known for their superior quality and they are that cool MSR red! You won't be sorry with these shoes.


Denali ascent is better
These snowshoes are excellent same as the Denali Ascents without the "televators". However the "televators" are amazing on the Denali Ascents. If you plan on hiking any hills spend the extra money. They are short bars beneath your heel that you can pull up for hiking uphill, they are absolutely amazing. MSR beefed up the crampons on the bottom and they are tough as nails. I climbed Algonquin, Wright, and Giant Mt. in the Adirondack High peaks with the Denali Ascents. I slammed them on ice snow and rock and they look and feel brand new still.
