Comments about MSR Evo 22 Snowshoes:
My friend and I went out on an overnight backpacking trip in the snow with our sons and bought 4 pairs of these snow shoes. We backpacked in the snow for 5 miles with our MSR Snow Shoes and they worked beautifully! I am 6'-2" tall and weigh 235 lbs and was carrying a 40 lb. backpack. I didn't slip in the snow once and in no time at all forgot I was even wearing them. Southern California snow is different from other regions in the country in that the snow is usually thin and icy. We hiked through a mixture of 1-2 ft. of iced over powder and I felt secure at all times. I am confident that these shoes will work in all conditions and I cannot wait until our next snow trip to try them out.

Comments about MSR Evo 22 Snowshoes:
I wish I could give these shoes a 5 star rating since they're nearly perfect for so many reasons. The only thing that drives me nuts is that the plastic framing/decking is LOUD on crust or a compacted trail.
Just a few hints...1) slide the strap clips close to the buckle to keep the straps in place, 2) when you go to take the shoes off, slide the strap out from under the clip first. Don't simply pull on the strap, especially in cold weather or you'll snap the clip, 3) get the field maintenance kit. I've never had to use it but it contains everything you need for an emergency repair, 4) get the floatation tails regardless of your size. At some point you'll find them incredibly useful!
The description says they're good for rolling terrain but I've been more aggressive with them in the back country and haven't been disappointed. All in all, another awesome MSR product!

Comments about MSR Evo 22 Snowshoes:
The best part about these snowshoes are the long spiked metal rails. The rails dig into hard snow and make ascending easy.
Buy the tails if you are ever planning on hiking through powder, regardless of your weight.
The only beef I have with them is the strap closest to the toe can slip out of the secondary strap clip and flap around while you are walking. Another reviewer suggested moving the strap clip very close to the strap lock to keep them in place. I think this will work.

Comments about MSR Evo 22 Snowshoes:
I use these for both work and pleasure and have found them to be reliable and comfortable. I was using metal MSR snowshoes before these and the weight difference (and lack of leg fatigue) is noticeable and wonderful. My only complaint is that the toe strap does not stay in the little rubber keeper clip thing, although I thankfully have not had the shoes unfasten yet.

Comments about MSR Evo 22 Snowshoes:
I bought a pair of these years ago when they first came out. There were 3 straps that went over the foot and one back strap. The straps just flopped around but that didn't really bother me. They've served me faithfully all these years except last week the back strap cracked and broke. Took off one of the middle straps to replace the back strap. I think maybe the rubber is just wearing out. I would recommend them and it looks like they've made some improvements.

Comments about MSR Evo 22 Snowshoes:
I first started using these to set trails while working for the Forest Service after trying another brand. What a difference! They changed my attitude about snowshoeing. I worked and play in the Sierras where the conditions are usually wet or icy and on a great day there is powder. When its icy, and the terrain is steep these will get you to places because of the rails. When there is powder or a chance of breaking through the surface, make sure you have the tails with you - I won't go out without them. I used them hard for five years and they still work great and look good. Yes, they are noisy on ice but that is the least of my worries when I am going up slope to take a picture or see what its like just beyond the rise.

Comments about MSR Evo 22 Snowshoes:
I purchased these snowshoes for ascending, descending, and traversing steep slopes after floundering after my climbing and hiking partners on my Atlas snowshoes for a couple of years. MSR's Evo snowshoes are great performers in these conditions, second to none, especially for steep traversing. They are also wonderful on what passes for snow in western Washington (heavy, wet, crusty). They are even fine on rare days there is actual powder snow. They're more compact than most other snowshoes and have ample traction features to help you stay right side up. They are easy to put on, take off, and adjust. A lot of thought clearly went into their design.
What didn't go into their design is durability. They can and will break in so many different ways. This has happened both to me personally and to multiple friends that own them. The majority of these malfunctions prevent the snowshoe from being functional... so there you are, miles into the deep snow with only one working snowshoe. Some things that have personally happened to mine: the pin that holds the cleat onto the snowshoe has fallen off (multiple times... so much so that I got a bag of spare parts so I could do field repair), multiple rivets that hold the rails onto the plastic deck have popped off, the cloth interface with the metal foot cleat has ripped where it is riveted on, and the side rail failed at the hole where the pin holds the foot cleat in place.
I am fortunate enough to live near Seattle so I can personally take my snowshoes to be repaired at Cascade Designs (MSR's parent company), but at this point I'm having to go after almost every trip. While I'm loathe to go back to my Atlas snowshoes because they don't perform as well, at least I can be fairly certain they'll make it through the trip. Thanks but no thanks, MSR.

I've used these snowshoes up at Mirror Lake and Crater Lake.
They were super easy to get in and get out of.
That's all.

Comments about MSR Evo 22 Snowshoes:
I tried a different pair of snow shoes and had problems with the straps icing up making it difficult to take them off. These are great easy on and easy off, great traction too. I suggest getting the tails if you are usinging in deep snow or with heavy pac. They install easy, are light weight and didn't cost too much more.
