Overview
The MSR Evo Trail is the do-everything entry into MSR's legendary snowshoe line: a tough unified plastic deck ringed by a steel traction frame, with steel bars underfoot for grip on packed snow and ice. It accepts add-on tails when you need more float, making it a genuine one-and-done choice for most winter hikers.
