MSR Lightning Snowshoe

Item #CAS0490 | 3 in Stock
5 Star Rating

light and sticky

By Ranked #408 - Snowshoes March 10, 2006

These snowshoes are super light...you barely feel 'em on your feet. They also provide excellent traction on both loose snow as well as stiff snow or ice (think crampons). The bindings are easy to take on and off and secure. I wonder a little bit about the durability of the rubber in the bindings as well as the platform, but one thing I do know is that MSR stands behinds their products, so I don't worry too much about it!
