New EVO Ascent features redesigned decks, bindings and crampons, improving their backcountry performance.

• Strong UniDeck injection-molded decks are tapered for a more natural walking stride
• Mitten-friendly EVO bindings stand up to allow easy entry and exit; bindings expand to accommodate snowboard and ski boots
• Multi-toothed, hardened-steel side rails--provide superior grip for traversing side slopes and ice
• Steel Saber Teeth project 3/8-inch on either side of the binding to increase security on steep, icy slopes
• MSR Televator heel bails lift to ease the strain on your calves during steep ascents
• Steel toe crampons grip the snow and pivot to maintain contact with the ground
• EVO Flotation Tails (sold separately) add buoyancy when walking in deep powder snow or carrying heavy loads
• Please note: without tails, recommended load is 90 - 125 lbs. and with 6 in. tails, recommended load is 125 - 175 lbs.+
• Recommended load specification includes weight of hiker with gear in soft snow conditions; flotation will vary with snow conditions
