Lightning Ascent (Women's)

 

Product Description

The low-profile Women's Lightning Ascent snowshoes by MSR provide female trekkers with the traction, maneuverability, and agility needed for strenuous and challenging backcountry pursuits in steep, unforgiving terrain.

Features & Specifications

FRAME/DECK:

The durable and lightweight aluminum 360° Traction frame is tailored specifically for a woman's narrower gait and allows for mastery of any terrain, thanks to deep-sinking teeth integrated in the frame along the outside edge and underneath. The deck is made of lightweight and waterproof urethane-impregnated nylon with a reinforced heel area.

BINDING:

MSR's PosiLock AT bindings work with any footwear type, sizes 4.5 to 14 (35.5 to 48), providing the most secure, freeze-resistant attachment system that MSR offers. All materials are waterproof, so they won't become heavy or freeze.

CRAMPON:

The powder-coated steel crampons grip with precision and provide stability by reducing heel drift.

HEEL LIFT:

The Ergo Televator heel lifts snap into place with a flick of a pole, limiting heel and calf strain during steep ascents.

FLOTATION TAILS:

Compatible flotation tails (sold separately) allow for more even weight distribution when traveling over deep snow or carrying heavy loads.
