Product Description Item No. 10260091

The MSR Lightning Ascent Snowshoes are lightweight and aggressive to take you onward and upward through all types of terrain. The advanced 360° traction frames provide grippy traction beneath while surrounding a lightweight ballistic decking to keep you up on top instead of postholing your way through the snowfield. The frame and deck combination is super durable and ready to take on all types of snow through changing terrain. The Torsion2 crampons feature split teeth for extra grip as you trek. To ensure you're always connected to the Lightning Ascent, PosiLock AT bindings strap around a wide range of footwear styles and are freeze-resistant for adjustments along the way. Once you reach the beginning of an uphill battle, quickly engage the Ergo Televators to reduce fatigue. Your calves will thank you. Baby cows.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mooselook Marty from Great snowshoes at a great price Love the 22 inch MSR Lightning Ascents. They are excellent snowshoes - light, durable and with great traction. I have a older pair of 25 inch Lightning Ascents, but wanted the more nimble 22 inchers, for use on packed trails in the New Hampshire White Mountains. Going forward, the 25 inchers will be primarily used for breaking trail in deep snow (they excel at that) and the 22 inchers for all other snowshoeing conditions. The price for these was great! Delivery by Mountain Steals was timely. Great experience.

Rated 5 out of 5 by BostoniaOutfitters from MSR Lightning Ascent Snowshoes Verdict: If you’re looking for bear claws for feet that can handle ice, powder and anything in between then these snowshoes are a must have. These are the whole package and will keep you confidently plowing through any winter conditions for years to come.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Dragan from MSR LIGHTING ASCENT I bought two womens lightning ascent snowshoes and one mens set. Dealing online with mountain steals people about getting a bit better of a deal went well. Got more off of all three sets.products were delivered very quickly. Didnt expect to get them that soon. After I received them I noticed that the mens set was 22 in. Long. When I ordered as 25 in. So checking back on internet I noticed that the box check and product detail were different. So somehow a glitch is in the system. No biggie. Will deal with this soon. I am sure all will be fixed after I get ahold of them. As their service has been very good from cusomer relations in the past. Good people with great attitude.

Rated 5 out of 5 by alargepenguin from Light and Fast. Great for climbing. I've taken these on a number of backcountry runs and the combination of the ascender bar and light construction kept me from postholing all the way up the mountian. the strapping system i found to be intuitive and solid. The full crampon style frame kept me stuck to the icy parts while my jealous travel buddies slid and skied.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Amber from Light weight with the grit. I like these! They work perfect for backcountry walks or a walk to the mailbox when you don't feel up to challenge of telemark BC. Work great in deep powder or icy surfaces. The elevator is great.

Rated 5 out of 5 by PaulF from Fantastic! I bought these a few weeks ago and, while it has yet to snow and is still 50 degrees outside in the upper midwest, the snowshoes look really cool in their packaging.
