MSR's Lightning Ascent snowshoes represent the pinnacle of ultralight and aggressive all-terrain performance, and now feature MSR's advanced Paragon™ binding. 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 unrivaled grip—especially on traverses. Ballistic-grade decking offers long-lasting durability, and Ergo Televator heel lifts back you up when climbing the steeps.

Features
- Unrivaled 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 maneuverability 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.

So far, I've just used them once and mostly to try them out since microspikes were adequate for the hike. But they were great. Easy to put on and tighten so no slips or movement.
