Both the Lightning ascent and evo ascent seem designed forthe same purpose. What would be the advantage of one overthe other?

The Evo is cheaper ($199.99), modular(can be a 22 inch shoe or a 28 inch shoe with the tail added), and more durable. Also you slide your foot from the back of the snowshoe to the front. Because this is a platform shoe it has crunchy sound while walking, but it is not that load.The Lightening is much light and has better traction. This snowshoe you step on top of the binding and then tighten the straps. These cost more ($269.00)Now that said both shoes are extremely durable. More durable then many of the other brands. Both shoes have amazing tractionPersonaly I like the Lightenings more mainly due to the weight and I think that they walk better
