With the lightweight, high-traction MSR Lightning Women's Snowshoes on your feet, steep, snowy terrain feels like a walk in the park. The Lightning snowshoe is made with an aircraft-grade aluminum frame that's powder-coated to keep snow from sticking to it. 360º Full-wrap traction makes steep, icy slopes feel like a flight of stairs. An orthopedic gait specialist helped MSR create the shape of the women's Lightning snowshoes, so they fit a woman's stride perfectly. At only 3lb (22in), this MSR women's snowshoe is the lightest in its class. With its excellent traction and lightweight design, the Lightning women's snowshoe is ideal for both advanced winter travelers and beginners looking to explore the snow-covered trails.

Bottom Line: The MSR Lightning women's snowshoes are ultralight, high-performance snowshoes designed specifically for a women's stride.

MSR 25" Lightning Snowshoes

By:

This is an excellent snowshoe--it's quick to strap into and light and nimble to use. Most impressive is its incredible traction. Up, down, or sideways, there's no slipping or skidding with this shoe. I'm still undecided about the optimum length. In a future purchase, I might choose longer than a 25" model. In new-fallen snow conditions, I sink deeper than I'd like--even though I'm under 120 lbs. Still, it's tough to beat the agility of this shorter model.

These snowshoes are so lightweight that you barely feel like you have anything strapped on to your boots. The bindings are fantastic and didn't budge on a recent 6 mile trek. They are super compatible with my snowboarding boots. The amount of traction was surprising compared to past snowshoes I've used...they have serious crampons. Awkward at first, but after a few miles was much appreciated.
