Title: The bindings are terrible
Review: Sorry to rain on the rosy reviews, but these snowshoes leave much to be desired. The biggest deficiency is the bindings, which are absolutely awful. I came here to price check these snowshoes, since I expected them to be about $50. I couldn't believe that anyone would pay $140 for these when there are so many superior products on the market.I typically use a pair of Atlas Snowshoes. The atlas bindings are super secure yet highly adjustable and the nylon pull closures can be adjusted with a glove on.This weekend, I rented a pair of the MSR, and the cheap rubber buckles came undone several times over the course of a hike. There is no room in my closet for any bad gear, especially when it costs the same as good stuff.It's disappointing, because MSR makes some good stuff. Not these.
