The MSR Lightning Ascent 25IN are lightweight technical snowshoes and are at the top of the MSR snowshoe range.
Updated for 2020 the MSR Lightning Ascent have the new Paragon Binding.
The New MSR Lightning Ascent snowshoes represent the pinnacle of ultralight and aggressive all-terrain performance, and now feature our advanced Paragon™ binding.
The Paragon bindings are 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 unrivalled grip, especially on traverses.
The ballistic-grade decking offers long-lasting durability, and the Ergo Televator heel lifts back you up when climbing the steep slopes.
• Unrivalled Traction: 360° Traction frames deliver edge-to-edge grip, and durable steel DTX crampons provide serious bite in challenging conditions—delivering unmatched traction in technical terrain.
• Paragon™ Binding: Comfortable, freeze-resistant mesh strap wraps securely around a wide range of boots for ultimate security, while toe stops offer fast, precise foot alignment.
• All-Condition Adaptability: Add-on Modular Flotation tails allow you the manoeuvrability of a smaller, primary snowshoe with the added, on-demand flotation of optional, 5-inch (13-cm) tails.
• Uphill Efficiency: Ergo™ Televators reduce fatigue and increase traction on the steeps with an ergonomic design that engages with a flick of a pole grip.
