MSR Lightning Axis snowshoes feature bindings that let you compensate for individual gait tendencies, offering enhanced comfort along with aggressive traction for exploring rolling terrain in winter.
- Total-Traction™ frame is made from a single, vertical blade of aerospace-grade aluminum, supported by 2 cross-members of high-strength steel
- Frame supplies 360° of traction, thanks to aggressive teeth integrated into the frame along the outside edges and underfoot
- Urethane-impregnated nylon decking is lightweight, waterproof and durable; heel strike area features a welded on reinforcement patch
- Bindings feature a wide, flexible strap that crosses the tops of boots to provide a snug fit; cam buckles adjust easily and lock down with a quick push for fast adjustments
- Axis™ bindings can be adjusted to compensate for individual toe-in and toe-out tendencies in gait, maximizing stride efficiency and overall comfort with a custom fit
- Make use of optional instep straps for even greater security; straps stay pliable and easy-to-adjust in cold temperatures, even when wearing mittens
- Steel crampons underfoot not only grip well, they provide stability and reduce heel drift for an efficient gait
- Heel lifts ease the strain on your calves during steep ascents
- All materials are waterproof, so they don't soak up water, freeze and get heavy
- Recommended load specification for the MSR Lightning Axis snowshoes includes weight of hiker with gear; flotation will vary with snow conditions
