| 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. |

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.

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!
