Thank you for viewing. I purchased this at Kojitsu Sanso. I used it once for snowshoe trekking. I was planning to continue using it, but my circumstances have changed, and I won't be using it anymore, so I'm selling it. Please feel free to ask any questions. The MSR Lightning Ascent snowshoes feature a lightweight design and excellent traction. - Brand: MSR - Model name: Lightning Ascent - Color: Gray/Red - Features: Lightweight design, excellent traction, adjustable straps This is a women's model, but it's only slightly narrower than the men's model, so depending on your build, it may be lighter and easier to walk in for men as well. The Lightning series utilizes the lightest materials, and the frame's blades provide unparalleled traction (grip). The 360° traction frame surrounding the outer edge and the two cross members provide excellent grip and rigidity, and the durable and flexible deck conforms to the terrain. It firmly grips the snow surface even when climbing steep slopes or traversing, which snowshoes are not good at.
