MSR Is Adding Paradigm Bindings To Explore Series Of Snowshoes
MSR will be adding a new set of bindings to their Explore series of snowshoes this Autumn. Similar to the Paragon bindings that we absolutely loved in the Ascent snowshoes (read our review here) the Paradigm encases the toe of your boot in a comfortable webbing that can be tightened or loosened.
The Explore Series snowshoes are designed for intermediate to advanced-level snowshoers exploring intermediate to technical, variable terrain, in addition to beginner snowshoers who want to invest in shoes that they can grow into over time.
MSR’s Explore snowshoes are designed for hiking on and off trails while providing comfort and ease of use on extended trips. Three adjustment points and toe stop make getting a perfect, custom fit simple, even with gloves on. The stretch mesh and two front buckles provide a secure grip on steeper slopes and while side-hilling.
