by KarlosJ83, Gear Expert from UT, United States Updated on July 21, 2022
These have worked out great on the 2 outings I've been on since the purchase. I weighed in at 275 pounds with pack and gear. These kept me afloat in deep soft snow. The heel elevators work great, just have to make sure the hill is steep enough and it feels like your walking on stairs.

I felt the Safety by using MSR lightning AScent at first. I was used GV Niflex,till then. It's great performance of holding foot,catching ice barn,being light. I can use the relief.

MSR Lightning Ascent snowshoes will get you any place you have business being, and back again. They're lightweight, attach securely to any kind of boot, and provide unparalleled traction. This will be my 3rd season using them, and they've become my go-to snowshoes even for deep powder despite the fact that they give less flotation than my 36" Tubbs. You're going to sink regardl...

Handles all conditions, last trip I went from soft deep snow to wind blown hard pack on a...

Best snowshoe I have ever worn. I hike lots of back country and up 3000' ascents here in Vt. Great in snowy conditions with ice below. Crampons are still best for ice, but these do work well on ice. Bindings are awesome as well. Worth the money.

Sweet as can get! Very versatile snowshoe. Aggressive, but really light. Easy to put on and off. Used it on some steep approaches and few ridges full of fairly deep snow in NH Whites, on frozen and steep snow, worked very surely. I'm 6' and 165 and with 20 pounds in my backpack had no issues at all (I got 22'' model which supposed to be up to 180 pounds). I love them shorter, f...

Q I am 6’ ft 215 lbs and carrying 20-25lb backpack. Could I get away with 25 even on soft snow?
A
Expert Answer

If you want the best float, go with the 30 inch. If you are willing to sink more and use more energy to walk that distance, get the 25 inch.

Answered by Jamon W, Gear Expert, February 6, 2019
