Review Abstract
The unconventional-looking MSR Denalis are made from molded plastic and work “great for climbing the steeps”, “easy travel along hilly terrain” and the ability to “side-step with ease.” They perform “well on wet snow” but some reviewers found they “performed worse in powder”. A definite advantage is the “hassle-fee buckling system” with “bindings that are easy to manage, even with gloves.” A great value, the price of these snowshoes “is hard to beat”. On last thing to be aware of: the plastic can be “noisy on the snow”, wet or dry. |

Great snowshoes. Traction like no other while friends were slipping and sliding on bulletproof snow. Awesome binding system, easy to adjust with gloves on. Adjustable length is innovative adds versatility. Mountain Goat sold them to me at dealer cost (super cool shop) Customer Service:

at ebay Summary:
I have the MSR Denali Ascents. This is my first pair of snowshoes but I have rented the aluminum framed and webbed and laced type before. These snowshoes are great. Lite weight and easy to manuever around in. The bindings are awesome and very easy to adjust straps in the cold with thick gloves on. Because they are made of plastic they do make allot of noise when hiking on crusty snow. The elevator climbing bar that can be folded up for steep climbs works excellent and really helps to relieve calf fatigue. I really like the option of adding the tail extensions to the snowshoe if you are in softer and deeper snow or carrying a heavier pack. I highly recommend these shoes. Customer Service:

I love them. Easy to put on and they stay put. At 195lbs. plus pack you gotta get the big tails in most conditions. Rugged build, no problem getting through the rocks, creeks, and sticks. Heal elevators are nice. Lots of traction in the cascade concrete. no comlpaints. Customer Service:

at Campmor Summary:
I bought the Denali about 8 years ago and they are still going strong. Eight-inch tails were included. My only gripes about them were the original bindings and the noise. The original bindings attached with a rubber strap that laced thru metal hooks- very awkward to use with gloves on, though once tight they stayed tight. I replaced them with the current bindings thru MSR and have been pleased. Love the narrow width of the shoe and bomber traction on any surface. The parallel traction bars make all the difference. MSR always has a great product. Customer Service:
No hassles, great service. Similar Products Used:
