We tried our older MSR lightning ascent snowshoes on a couple weeks ago and on both of them the rubner straps just broke right off, the rubber had rotted. They were 15yrs old but I was disappointed given how expensive they were. So I ordered us new pairs of the same snowshoes last week and they were supposed to be delivered today. Obviously that ain't happening and I'm bummed to have missed out on this. Hopefully they can deliver tomorrow.
