Mountain Safety Research (MSR) will offer for Fall 2022 Paraglide bindings on its Trail Series of snowshoes, created for use on rolling hills and flat trails.

Features include two roller buckles and toe stops making placing feet and securing and removing straps simple and intuitive. To hold the snowshoe in place, the buckles are combined with a pressure point-free stretch mesh, which hugs the feet similar to what users will find on its Lightning Ascent and Revo Ascent snowshoes with Paragon bindings introduced in Fall 2019.

“We are thrilled to introduce the Paraglide binding to the MSR family. It is the easiest-to-use binding we’ve ever produced and sure to provide a great experience for winter recreationalists,” said Scott Youmans, product line manager, Stoves, Cookware and Winter, MSR. “Following the success of the Paragon binding and its pressure-point free stretch mesh, it is a perfect choice for recreational snowshoers, and especially timely as we continue to see strong participation growth in this category.”

All three models of the Trail Series offer Paraglide bindings, new colors and can be increased with the purchase of Evo Tails which adds six inches for increased floatation.
