MSR  Revo Explore Snowshoes - Women's

These are my second pair of snowshoes. I previously had a cheaper pair and only tried going out a couple times. It was terrible. They were slippery and heavy and clunky. These are the exact opposite. They were so light, I forgot I had them on. They were best for following a snowmobile trail (slightly packed). My dog still sunk down 3-4 inches in the tracks but I comfortably walked right on top. I am 145 lbs and got the 22 inch snowshoes. I will be picking up the tails soon to have just in case there is a really powdery day. Great traction, easy to put on and off, very stable while on. I paired them with my mukluks.

I bought these for my wife as an early Valentine’s gift. Today my wife used them for the first time, and she loves them ! They are the very similar to an earlier MSR snowshoe that one of her friends has owned for several years - the major difference is a redesigned binding. At first the newer binding looked kind of complicated to me. But once generally adjusted and seeing how the bindings work, they’re really good! My wife weighs about 140 lb and is about 5’9” tall. The women’s 25 inch snowshoes are a good fit for enough flotation in deeper snow, with some margin for added weight of gear and pack. They are still short enough to maneuver well. The heel lift will get good use on hilly travels in our area parks. My wife is happy - and so am I !

Pros: -Works well for powder and groomed trails -Lightweight -Bindings are easy to adjust -Snow doesn’t accumulate on the deck Cons: -Very noisy on groomed trails/packed snow

I bought a few types of snowshoes and these are by far my favorites. It takes a minute to get used to the straps and how they work and then super easy and very floaty on a lot of snow
