| The MSR Denali Classic modular snowshoe, now a standard among snow aficionados, offers high-end features at a reasonable price. The lightweight UniDeck plastic molded design gives you reliable flotation in all snow conditions; if the powder's deep just add the detachable tails for more flotation. The real features lurk underfoot in the hardware: full-length steel traction bars, front and rear crampons and a smartly designed braking system work together to give you more purchase on the slippery mediums found in wintertime. [For this same design but with added traction and climbing bars, check out the MSR Denali Ascent.] |

Bottom Line: It's called the Classic for a reason. |
Reviews:
Good shoes, Especially For the price. I picked up the denali classic snowshoes at a local store, and I can't find a reason to complain, except that when making steep ascents they are very hard on your calves. The "heelavator" is on most other MSR snowshoes, but your also paying 70-140? more. I also bought the 8' float tails because I do most of my snowshoeing in the backcountry around wolf creek, CO, and the snow tends to get rather deep around there.
love em' The Denali Classic Snowshoe is ideal for hiking or back country touring. Their light weight allows you to pack less and trek longer. Also the side traction bars are a bonus when hiking up tracked out hills.
Good shoe for lazy snowshoeing Easy to use, well constructed, and effortless for walking on powder as long as terrain is not steep.
Snowshoes for big people! I'm 6'6" and 250lb, and these snowshoes (with 8" flotation tails) work great. Now, I've only used them twice, and on very dense Cleveland-area snow, but have been very impressed with the ease of use and stability they provide. I'll report again after trying them on lighter powder, but for now am very impressed.
The Classic seems to be just that! I bought two pair online in the fall. I had used a set of poly-cab snow shoes but the bindings broke. The Classics seem to be all they say. Light, nearly efortless to put on, and easy to use. I've used them daily and they make my walks in deep snow and ice a pleasure.
