MSR's most aggressive snowshoe can handle almost any winter terrain that comes it's way. Featuring Torsion2™ crampons, these snowshoes are built on a solid foundation of advanced 360ø Traction™ frames and deliver a level of ultralight security that tubular frames simply can't?especially on traverses. Dual-component PosiLock™ AT bindings offer MSR's most secure attachment, while aggressive steel cross members and easily engaged Ergo™ Televators back you up with every step. Lightning Ascents offer the all-condition adaptability of our Modular Flotation tails for added floatation.
  • 360ø Traction frames deliver edge-to-edge grip, and split teeth of Torsion2™ crampons better distribute forces and offer more continuous contact?delivering unmatched traction on any terrain, in any conditions.
  • Two-piece, independently conforming PosiLock™ AT bindings create our most secure, freeze-resistant attachment, regardless of footwear.
  • Ergo™ Televators reduce fatigue and increase traction on the steeps with an ergonomic design that engages with a simply flick of a pole grip.
  • 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. (Campmor style # 71507)
  • Made in the USA

OK, but you could find better

By ADK Ice Climber

from Long Island NY

Pros

  • Good For Steep Terrain
  • Great traction
  • Heel lift
  • Light

Cons

  • Not durable
  • POOR MATERIAL

Best Uses

  • None

Comments about MSR Lightning Ascent Snowshoe - Men's:

Poor material causes the crampon part to repeatedly break, then the frame rail that hold the crampon to the snow show cracked and feel off. I would avoid these. MSR has good customer service, but I've had to get parts for these and/or return them several times.

      A:

      The MSR Lightning Ascent Men's Snowshoes can probably accomodate a Mens hiking boot in a medium width size 15. It might not fit any larger winter boot or wider width boot..
