>>2857271I have MSR too, and I really like them, especially the bindings and general design seems really well thought out and ergonomic (MSE Lightning Ascent). However, I'm cautious about how much weight I carry on them (which is difficult for big winter overnight trips), since I've seen a couple accounts on YouTube and other places of the hinge between the binding and the snowshoe itself breaking. Apparently this isn't just the hinge pins snapping or coming loose or something, it's the actual metal around the pin fracturing, making it essentially unrepairable in the field (or at all). And one tuber (MartyUpNorth) was basically told to fuck off by MSR customer service. I keep trying to come up with a way to mitigate this or repair it in the field, but so far most ideas are janky.
