MSR Lightning Snowshoe

Item #CAS0490 | 2 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Great, always stays in place

By Ranked #523 - Snowshoes April 26, 2009

Super light, float nice. I bought these to walk my dog across an open field. I tried atlas before buying these and the MSR's are miles above. They grip nice and stay on. I had problems with the altas's falling off. My only advice is to get the Ascents if you ever plan to climb up some hills. The bar is only a little bit of extra weight and will pay off in the long run. I give it 4 out of 5 because the size of the foot hole is a little small and my boots rub the side.
