MSR Lightning Ascent Snowshoe - Men's

Item #CAS0703 | 48 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Stop post holing for turns!

By Backcountry.com Alumni May 5, 2008

These are so light, and they have a four way crampon for maximum traction. The step in on them will fit a snowboard boot easy. The straps are so easy to use. Most snowshoes make you feel awkward when you hike in deep snow in them, but not these, I could get a good pace going and not have to stop or worry about my feet. The climbing bars works great on the steeps. Great over all snowshoe.
