MSR Women’s Lightning™ Ascent Snowshoes 22 inches

Built for technical winter terrain, these lightweight women’s snowshoes combine a narrow frame with aggressive traction. Their low-profile design suits a narrower gait, allowing agile movement for hikers seeking less bulk underfoot. 360° Traction frames provide grip around the frame, while steel DTX crampons bite into challenging surfaces. Together, they support secure footing on steep slopes and traverses where dependable traction matters. The women’s Paragon™ bindings use a comfortable mesh strap to wrap securely around varied footwear, including smaller boots. Integrated toe stops guide foot placement, making it easier to position your boots consistently before heading up the trail. For sustained climbs, Ergo™ Televators raise the heel to reduce fatigue and improve traction. They engage with a flick of a pole grip. Optional 5-inch (13 cm) Modular Flotation tails add flotation in deeper snow, letting you keep a compact, maneuverable setup when extra support is unnecessary.
