NECK 14 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 After a good 6 years of use, my snowshoes have finally died I am looking to replace them ASAP as I use them often. I usually order my stuff from the States, but before I order looking to see if any SnowJapaners in Japan have a spare set they would be willing to sell. Looking for compact ones around 22 inches in length, as I carry them on my pack when I ride/tour. Heel lift bar for ascents would be nice, but not essential. MSR Evo Ascent, Evo Tour, Lightning Ascent or Lightning Axis would all be perfect. Does anyone have snowshoes to sell? Please let me know ASAP. Cheers! NECK Link to post Share on other sites

NECK 14 Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 I use backcountry.com. Pay for it with my UK credit card, and have it shipped to my buddy in California. He sends it on to me. Link to post Share on other sites

gozaimaas 61 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 They fit inside my dakine guide 49l pack or outside in the vertical snowboard carry of any pack. The floatation tails are great and just snap on when needed to give you a 30" footprint Link to post Share on other sites

NoFakie 45 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I guess you know this but the rubber straps on MSR ones dry up and snap after a few years. They can be replaced, but you'll have to send off to get em. Anyway, it's something to note if you're buying second hand. Link to post Share on other sites
