New, dual-component, PosiLock™ AT bindings offer our most secure attachment, while aggressive steel cross members, Pivot™ Crampons and new, easily-engaged Ergo™ Televators back you up with every step.

- Great snowshoes Review by GH Bike

Price Value Quality I originally bought the 30" a year ago but they were much more than that needed for the typical snow in the Cascades. Returned them and got the 25" which are excellent for the conditions here, even with a 50# pack in addition to my 180#. Grip is excellent as it the quality of the shoes. If you purchased shoes earlier, MSR has revised the strap from a metal stud (hard to make work in cold conditions) to a plastic clip. I emailed MSR and they sent me the clips for free, which prevent the straps from getting loose.
