Mountain Safety Research: Women's Lightning Ascent 22 Snowshoes

An ISPO outdoor award winner for design, the MSR Women's Lightning Ascent 22 Snowshoes features a steep terrain?Televator™ heel lifter that reduces calf fatigue, which makes climbing easier and more efficient. Designed specifically for the female body in conjunction with an orthopedic gait specialist, this snowshoe sets the standard for maximum traction at a minimum weight. Taking into consideration a women's shorter stride, faster pace, and narrower stance, these snowshoes are lighter, tapered, and more compact to minimizing muscle and hip fatigue. Additionally, the raised rear frame enhances a more natural stride while reducing heel drag. Using an Aerospace-grade aluminum rail that has been turned on its edge, allows for a super light Total-Traction™ frame with 360 degrees of strategically serrated gripping edge. Combined with the True Hinge™ toe crampon, this snowshoe provides unparalleled security. A small fitting, precise three-strap step-on binding accommodates a variety of boots that make it quick and easy to trade with a friend. Designed with 100% waterproof materials, the urethane deck and straps won't freeze up, and remain easy to use in all conditions. The Women's Lightning Ascent 22 Snowshoes are best when you and your pack weight are 125 lbs. or less in varied mountain terrain.
