MSR's Lightning Ascents represent a revolution in snowshoe design. Available in men's and women's models, they feature a patent-pending Total-Traction™ frame—made from one vertical blade of aerospace-grade aluminum—that delivers unprecedented 360° traction. They're also the lightest snowshoes in their class—about 15% lighter than competitors—with performance and usability that surpass everything that's come before.
Unmatched on Steep Terrain: Televator™ heel lifter reduces calf fatigue, making climbing easier and more efficient.
User-Friendly: 3-strap step-on binding fits a variety of boots and is fast, secure, and easy to use.
Stable Support: True Hinge™ steel crampon enhances foot stability and minimizes heel drift, resulting in more efficient gait mechanics and less expended energy.
100% Waterproof: Materials won't soak up water and freeze; straps remain easy to use in all conditions.
