"Sweet snowshoe" - Review of MSR Lightning Ascent

I love these things. The frame has built in crampons as well as the toe/heel crampons and the heel riser kicks butt up steep terrain. The bindings have rubber lobes on the end making entry and exit easy with gloves on and they don't freeze like a nylon webbing could. Very easy to walk in whether up hill or down. Traversing isn't a problem either. I was also looking at Tubbs Mountaineer but I'm glad I got these. Very lite too..
