The pinnacle of ultralight and aggressive all-terrain performance

Overview

The MSR Lightning Ascent snowshoes represent the pinnacle of ultralight and aggressive all-terrain performance, and now feature the advanced Paragon™ binding.

Designed to wrap securely around your boot without pressure points, the binding’s mesh strap ensures maximum foot control with truly uncompromised comfort.

In technical terrain, the snowshoes’ 360 Traction™ Frames provide unrivaled grip—especially on traverses.

Ballistic-grade decking offers long-lasting durability, and Ergo Televator heel lifts back you up when climbing the steeps.
