MSR Lightning Snowshoe
Love 'em, but not the redesign

Great snowshoes for just about any condition. I've got the 25" which work great for most snow I've encountered, except for the 6' of crap snow I tried to slog through for 4 days in Santa Fe. However, I'm wicked glad I bought them when they first came out, as I don't like the new 3-strap binding over the 4-strap, and I'm not at all stoked that MSR reduced the aggressiveness of the perimeter crampons
