MSR Men's Lightning™ Explore Snowshoes

Exceptionally lightweight and secure, the Lightning Explore snowshoes will help you go farther with confidence. The coated nylon deck is quiet on the snow, while 360˚ Traction frames and steel crampons provide serious grip. Precise, comfortable and easy to use, the Paradigm™ bindings are field repairable and minimize heel drift for confidence on the snow.

Explore Series: Explore Series snowshoes provide all-day comfort, secure foot control, and are designed for performance on variable terrain, from rolling hills to steeper ascents.

About MSR: MSR snowshoes are designed, engineered and made to exacting standards in the USA with the highest quality U.S. and imported materials to perform reliably in serious winter conditions. Adventurers have trusted our proven gear for safe and efficient travel through the mountains for over 50 years.

Ultralight and secure to take on challenging conditions with ease.

  • Unrivaled Traction: Aggressive 360° Traction frames provide advanced traction, especially on traverses and in challenging conditions.
  • Paradigm™ Binding: The trifecta of durable performance, secure comfort and easy repairability, with stretch mesh that cradles your feet for a pressure-point-free hold.
  • Lightweight: TPU-coated nylon deck is lightweight and quiet on snow.
  • 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.
  • All-Condition Adaptability: Attachment points for 5-inch (13-cm) modular flotation tails (sold separately), which provide on-demand flotation for deep powder or when carrying heavier loads.
