MSR Brand Overview
MSR makes a wide range of products including snowshoes. This guide will focus on MSR’s top notch snowshoeing products. For other MSR products, see products at the end of the article.
MSR Snowshoes
MSR snowshoes, in my humble opinion, are excellent all-around snowshoes. For powder, end-of-season ice, off-trail, backcountry, first-timers, or hill-climbing, MSR snowshoes will get the job done. In many cases, better than any other snowshoe. Below is the list of all MSR snowshoes currently available for sale.
Lightning™ Ascent Snowshoes
Updated for 2017: The pinnacle of ultralight and aggressive all-terrain performance.
Ultralight snowshoes are built on a solid foundation of our advanced 360° Traction™ frames and deliver a level of security that tubular frames simply can’t—especially on traverses. Dual-component PosiLock™ AT bindings offer our most secure attachment, while rugged decking ensures long-lasting durability. In technical terrain, the snowshoes’ steel cross members and easily engaged Ergo™ Televators back you up with every step. And like all of our snowshoes, Lightning Ascents offer the all-condition adaptability of our Modular Flotation tails.
Womens Lightning Ascent Snowshoes
Updated for 2017: Ultralight and aggressive performance engineered for a narrow gait.
What began as a solution for women has become the top choice of anyone with a narrow gait, or those seeking the lightest possible alternative in this aggressive snowshoe. We engineered our Women’s 360° Traction™ frames in conjunction with a renowned expert in athletic biomechanics, resulting in a lower-profile frame that saves weight and improves agility with narrow gaits. Paired with our PosiLock™ AT bindings to create our most secure attachment, new tougher decking, and the easily engaged Ergo™ Televators, they’ll back you up with every step.

Updated for 2017: Rock-solid durability, security and all-terrain snowshoe performance.

Steep terrain demands the security of our PosiLock™ AT bindings and Ergo™ Televators heel lifts, while the snowshoe’s reinforced nose and new higher-strength crampon withstand challenging conditions.

All-around performance, versatility and value for off-trail hiking.
Evo Ascent snowshoes are true all-around performers for those seeking to venture off-trail into more variable backcountry terrain.
