Description of Lightning Ascent (2008/2009) Snowshoes - In Your Choice of StylesMSR Lightning Ascent snowshoes are built for varied terrains and sustained climbs. The revolutionary Total Traction Frame lends structure and provides a perimeter of 360 degree traction. This design results in unsurpassed traction. On steep terrain, MSR's Televator heel lifters can be flipped up to support the heels of the Lightning Ascent snowshoes, making climbing easier and reducing calf fatigue. This feature makes the Lightning Ascent snowshoes ideal for steep climbs. Lightning Ascent snowshoes are extremely lightweight, allowing you to walk more easily and naturally than you would in most traditional snowshoes. The frame is constructed from one vertical blade of aerospace-quality aluminum supported by two cross members of high-strength steel. The urethane decking is fastened at 18 attachment points for an extra measure of durability, even in the unlikely event of a tear-out. The bindings of the Lightning Ascent snowshoes utilize a step-on molded urethane design with three speed-hook buckles that open to securely fit a variety of boots. Lightning Ascent snowshoes are available in three sizes. The general load range of both Lightning Ascent-22 and Lightning Ascent-25 snowshoes is 150-225 lbs. (includes body weight, clothing and pack weight) and the general load range of Lightning Ascent-30 snowshoes is 175-225+ pounds. However, flotation requirements vary dramatically with snow conditions. See the information below for more specific load recommendations from MSR: On firm snow and established trails, Lightning Ascent-22 snowshoes are suitable for 90-225+ pounds and Lightning Ascent-25 snowshoes are suitable for 125-225+ pounds. Lightning Ascent-30 snowshoes are not recommended for use in these conditions. On soft snow up to 30 inches deep, Lightning Ascent-22 snowshoes are suitable for 90-125+ pounds, Lightning Ascent-25 snowshoes are suitable for 125-225+ pounds and Lightning Ascent-30 snowshoes are suitable for 225 or more pounds.
