The binding system is very good and the snowshoe feels light and has great traction. The ascent bar under the heel is very handy for climbs and easy to engage / disengage. These are noisy would be my only critique. No regrets on this purchase.

Not your best bet if you need winterland PFDs...

8 months ago

PFDs: Personal Flotation Device. Ordered after reading a lot of reviews online, having sold our Crescent Moons. We do quite a bit of snowshoeing on and off trail, and have been known to do a good bit of bushwacking to follow game trails or take photos. Found the MSRs okay on trails but of little use wandering off to do a little exploring. They have all but zero flotation on fresh powder. For the price and all the hoo-hah we expected better performance. Now a year later am going to try adding the add-on tails to see if that improves matters any, but having read those reviews as well am not hopeful. $400 for the Revos and the add-on tails seems a bit much for the performance. May chuck the whole lot and look to a pair of TSL Symbioz...

Perfect binding and great snowshoe!

2 years ago

I just took these up to Yosemite for their maiden adventure and they worked superbly! The conditions were somewhat cruddy, it rained and froze twice then snowed. The terrain varied between crusty ice to powder and the Revo Ascents tackled it all without issue. The Paragon binding was my absolute favorite feature though! I used two different types/sizes of boots and the bindings fit perfectly every single time, the first time. No stopping to adjust or wondering if my foot was straight or in the right place. The Paragon bindings are amazing and if you don't buy this snowshoe at least get one with a Paragon binding.

Great bindings and traction

3 years ago

The Paragon™ bindings work well on the trail once they're adjusted for fit and front strap keepers are set. They have good traction for sidehill travel and snow does not build up on the top surface while walking. I've got the 25" & I'm roughly 200 lbs including 30L daypack and seem to sink deeper in wet snow than expected, but that may be normal. The only other issue I have with these shoes is they're more noisy (plastic slap on some surfaces) than the old catgut and wood shoes I've experienced years ago. Because of that, I would not recommend for hunters. They work well when brush pokes up through the snow. The brush limbs don't seem to hang up the shoes and trip you up like other styles do. Good all around shoes to have.

Highly Recommended

7 years ago

I use these shoes almost every day all winter. I do a lot of bushwhacking and am never on groomed trails. The Reva Ascents really are excellent for moderate terrain and do quite nicely on steep slopes. I got the tails, but all the deep, fluffy snow came in December 2017. But perhaps in February 2018? Northern NH weather is very varied. As with all MSR shoes, the lateral stability for me is the biggest plus. You can traverse just about anything without fear of sliding. The bindings (over the years) seem to have gotten easier to fasten and get out of which is very welcome. These are very stable shoes. If you put them on right they NEVER come off. And that's the best especially when the snow is deep.

They work

2 years ago

They do what they're supposed to do, help keep you higher on the show. With my pack weight I added the tails just to be on the safe side. Also I ordered another set of bindings to keep on hand just in case one snaps, It would be awesome if REI would carry the extra bindings so I don't have to go somewhere else but that's just a convenience thing, After around the 10 mile mark on my last hike I noticed that one of the snowshoes began to squeak pretty loud. I put some wd40 on all the joints so we'll see if it helps. Overall they're a great product.

Televator design is terrible

2 years ago

This is my fourth pair of snowshoes. They were everything I wanted. Great traction, televators, bindings with no pressure points and reliable straps. The perfect snowshoe. Unfortunately, I had issues with the televators almost immediately. When I lift them, they usually fall down within a minute and I have to pop it up again. When they’re down, they catch on the heel of my boot and either lift up or get stuck on the back of my foot causing me to stumble or trip. Oh yeah, one of them already broke off. I would just rip the other one off and they’d be fine, but the televators can help dig into steeper terrain. I’ve probably put 50-100 miles on them and this has been my experience. Thankfully, I’m still within a year of the purchase date, so these will be going back. I was beyond excited when I purchased these. Side thought: I wear 11.5 mens, maybe if your bigger or smaller, your heel will be in a better position. But if you’re in the 11-12 range, you’ll probably dislike the televators too. Side note: Other reviews complained about the tails. I lost one off my first pair of MSR snowshoes my first time out with them. They seem unnecessary in most situations anyway. Breaking trail is breaking trail. I’m not giving up on MSR, but it seems like they still haven’t made a perfect snowshoe yet.

Great Binding System

4 years ago

I bought these snowshoes for my wife because she was having trouble with the bindings on her old snowshoes. I think these bindings are the best available. I have the MSR Lightning snowshoes with the same Paragon bindings. They are secure and easy to get on and off.

Ascents great, descent not so great

7 years ago

I purchased my MSR Revo Ascents winter of 2017. I have since used the every chance I get. I live in Saranac Lake NY , so I do a lot of Adirondack high peaks. I think the shoes are great on the ascent. I feel confident on hard packed snow and even hard ice. The decent is an other thing. I seem to slip a lot and fall. To try and prevent the slipping I need to be on my toes all the time. A very unusual feeling heading down hill. I think there needs to be another metal cross member like the Lightnings.
