Great for Mountaineering in the Backcountry
I purchased these snowshoes last year because I live in the wet Pacific Northwest, where the snow can resemble peanut butter one moment and powder the next. I realized that I needed a reliable backcountry shoe that was versatile and durable considering the varied terrain and constantly changing weather conditions we have that can wreak havoc on gear.
My schedule allows me to snoeshow about once a week during the winter months. That means that I get a lot of usage from them.
I've tested and returned the MSRs, Redfeathers, Tubbs and Sherpas. None of those shoes is as purpose-built, bombproof in construction and ergonomically correct as is the XSV25. All are important considerations when purchasing a pair of snoeshows.
My only complaint is that this shoe can be noisy. But it's a small price to pay in my book.
Whether my activities involve packed or powerdery conditions, the aggressive crampon laws and unique easy-to-operate ratchet binding make this an all around winner in my book.
