MSR Shift Youth Snowshoes

Getting kids out on winter trails is one of the best things you can do for a young outdoor enthusiast, and the MSR Shift gives preteens a snowshoe that actually performs rather than just tolerating their presence on the trail.

MSR didn't scale down the features to match the price point. The Shift uses the same steel traction bars and crampons found on the adult lineup, delivering real grip across variable snow conditions so kids can keep up confidently on everything from packed trails to deeper backcountry snow. The injection-moulded polypropylene deck is built to handle the kind of treatment only a preteen can dish out, and the easy-to-use Shift bindings adjust across a full range of youth shoe sizes without a fuss.

At 2 lbs 8 oz per pair and sized for a youth gait, these are snowshoes designed to get out of the way and let kids focus on the fun part. Rated for loads up to 125 lbs, they're sized right for the preteen years and built to last well into them.
