"Fast but not lighting fast...but working on it" 		          08/14/09
Wow, these snowshoes are great. The Televator heel is worth it, snowsheing with an elevation gain of 800 ft in 0.6 miles, the Televator saves your legs. I decided to rehike that section again without the heel up and I wont be making that mistake again! Great fit and easy to use.

"Buy in confiance. Just the best!" 		          03/04/08
Bought these based on user feedback and MSR top notch products. Although I was sceptical about the locking shoe straps, I found it very easy to put on and off. Works bloody good. Took those up in the French Alps in deep and steep snow and was amazed by the stability and ease of use. Never had any issues unlike my girlfriend who was using crap snowshoes which kept coming off ! Not what you want in arsh conditions!

"These are the ones to buy for sure." 		          02/23/08
I love these snowhoes. Using the televator is like walking up an escalator. My girlfriend got the women's version and is equally impressed. Traction is great and float is very good as well.
