MSR Lightning Axis Snowshoe - Women's - 2010 BCS

Available Colors / Styles

The Gait Efficiency System on MSR’s Lightning Axis Snowshoe is brand new for 2010, and frankly, once you try it, it might have you wondering how you ever used any other kind of snowshoe. In addition, the integrated, serrated 360 Traction Frame enhances traction and lateral stability on uneven and icy pitches, and the single-strap SpeedLock binding system lets you adjust your bindings with ease—even if you’re wearing thick gloves. And, thanks in part to the Modular Floatation Tail feature, you can feel free to take these sturdy snowshoes on a wide variety of snow conditions.

• New Axis Gait Efficiency bilateral binding adjustment allows you to adjust your lateral foot position up to 8 degrees, which improves overall efficiency and neutralizes variances in natural foot positions (toe-in or toe-out) to ensure a parallel stride
• Unlike traditional tubular-shaped snowshoe frames (which often slide on uneven terrain), MSR’s 360 Degree Traction Frame has integrated, serrated edges so that you can traverse icy slopes and navigate steep terrain with greater confidence
• Slightly narrower frame (as compared to the men’s version) is ideal for women, those with a narrow gait, and lightweight backpackers looking to shed a few ounces
• Modular Flotation Tail allows you to custom-tailor your footprint size to match trail conditions—attach it when expecting powder, and leave it off for hardpack
• The Televator heel lift system reduces calf fatigue, conserves energy, and improves traction on the steeps—intuitive design engages in seconds with a simple flick of your pole
• SpeedLock binding employs a single strap to save time and energy when fitting and removing snowshoes

Bottom Line: Setting a new standard in comfort and performance.
