MSR Lightning Snowshoe - Women's
MSR 25" Lightning Snowshoes

This is an excellent snowshoe--it's quick to strap into and light and nimble to use. Most impressive is its incredible traction. Up, down, or sideways, there's no slipping or skidding with this shoe. I'm still undecided about the optimum length. In a future purchase, I might choose longer than a 25" model. In new-fallen snow conditions, I sink deeper than I'd like--even though I'm under 120 lbs. Still, it's tough to beat the agility of this shorter model.
