MSR's Lightning snowshoes are lightweight and durable, providing comfortable support for movement on snow. - Brand: MSR - Model: Lightning Ascent - Color: Black - Size: Men's 25 inch Thank you for viewing. I purchased these new from an outdoor shop several years ago (around 5-6 years). The exact date is unknown. I have used them about 5 or 6 times a year. Due to the nature of the material, the aluminum frame is painted black, and there are some areas where the paint has come off, but this is due to normal use. This does not affect the strength or climbing performance. Regarding the straps, I have replaced those that have become stiff and cracked over time. There are three straps on the instep, and I removed the middle one to save time when putting them on and taking them off, but all straps are in usable condition. I received a comment asking how old they are, but the exact purchase date is unknown. I would like to sell these to someone who understands that I am selling them based on my personal subjective assessment. The photos show everything. These are used items, so please understand that they are sold as-is, with no returns. Regarding shipping, I generally ship within 1-2 days, but I often travel for work and am away from home for extended periods. In some cases, I may not be able to ship for a week to ten days. If you are in a hurry, please check with me in advance via comments, etc.
