MSR Women's Lightning Explore

MSR Women's Lightning Explore

The MSR Women's Lightning Explore is a light, technical women's snowshoe built for a narrower gait. It brings 360-degree aluminum traction, Ergo Televators and a tapered deck that moves naturally with your stride, and it is lighter and quieter than the Revo Explore.

Why We Carry It

The women's specific shape really does make walking easier, and this is the lightest technical pair MSR makes.

Highlights

• 360-degree traction frame: 7075-T6 aluminum frame with Pivot crampons grips on traverses and ice.
• Tapered 7.25 inch deck: Narrower than the men's version for a natural stride and less hip fatigue.
• TPU-coated nylon deck: Light and quiet on packed snow.
• Women's Paradigm binding: Stretch mesh binding with straps sized for women's footwear 5 to 12.
• Ergo Televator heel lifts: Flip them up with a pole to ease calf strain on steep climbs.
• Tail ready: Accepts 5-inch MSR flotation tails, sold separately.
• Made in USA: Built from US and imported materials.

Best For

Active women winter hikers who want a light, agile snowshoe for varied terrain. Great for snowy hikes on the Methodist Mountain trails.
