Lightning Ascent Ultralight All-Terrain Snowshoes

About the MSR Lightning Ascent

The Lightning Ascent snowshoe from MSR delivers a cutting edge design built for fast-moving backcountry tours. 360° traction frames provide edge-to-edge grip while hard-wearing steel DTX crampons ensure precision bite for traction in slick conditions and steep ascents.

The updated design uses comfortable and secure Paragon Binding. This advanced binding system features a freeze-resistant mesh strap that wraps securely around a wide range of footwear for maximum performance and control. Toe stops offer fast, precise foot alignment.

Ergo™ Televators flick easily into place beneath your heel to aid efficiency and traction while reducing fatigue on tough climbs.

The modular design lets you attach a flotation tail (sold separately) to give you the manoeuvrability of a smaller, primary snowshoe with added, on-demand flotation in deeper snow.

The MSR Lightning Ascent is a light yet rugged snowshoe with an aggressive bite for serious traction through serious winter terrain. An alpine essential for snowshoe trips and backcountry ski and snowboard touring.
