MSR Lightning™ Ascent Snowshoes

The pinnacle of ultralight and aggressive all-terrain performance.

The Lightning Ascent snowshoes stand as the ultimate in ultralight design and aggressive performance across all terrains. Now enhanced with the advanced Paragon™ binding, they offer a secure, pressure-free fit that wraps snugly around the boot. The mesh strap delivers exceptional foot control without compromising comfort. On demanding terrain, the 360° Traction™ Frames ensure outstanding grip, particularly when traversing slopes. Built with ballistic-grade decking, these snowshoes provide enduring durability, while the Ergo Televator heel lifts support efficient ascents on steep climbs.

Features

• Unrivaled Traction: 360° Traction frames deliver edge-to-edge grip, and durable steel DTX crampons provide serious bite in challenging conditions-delivering unmatched traction in technical terrain.
• Paragon Binding: Comfortable, freeze-resistant mesh strap wraps securely around a wide range of boots for ultimate security, while toe stops offer fast, precise foot alignment.
• All-Condition Adaptability: Add-on Modular Flotation tails allow you the maneuverability of a smaller, primary snowshoe with the added, on-demand flotation of optional, 5-inch (13-cm) tails.
• Uphill Efficiency: Ergo Televators reduce fatigue and increase traction on the steeps with an ergonomic design that engages with a flick of a pole grip.
