The MSR Lightning Ascent Paragon 25 snowshoes are the ultimate choice for those seeking ultralight and high - performance all - terrain snow adventures. They now come with our advanced Paragon Binding. This binding features a comfortable, freeze - resistant mesh strap that wraps securely around a wide range of boots, eliminating pressure points and offering maximum foot control with uncompromised comfort. The toe stops ensure fast and precise foot alignment. In technical terrains, the 360° Traction Frames provide unparalleled edge - to - edge grip, especially during traverses. Durable steel DTX crampons bite deeply in challenging conditions, giving you unmatched traction. The ballistic - grade decking guarantees long - lasting durability. The Ergo Televator heel lifts are there to support you when climbing steep slopes, reducing fatigue and increasing traction with an easy flick of a pole grip. These snowshoes can carry loads of up to 114kg and the bindings fit men's US shoe sizes from 6 to 14. You can also add modular flotation tails. They offer the maneuverability of a smaller snowshoe, and when needed, the extra 5 - inch (13 - cm) tails provide additional flotation. Weighing only 1946g, the load capacity is 54 - 100kg+, and with the tails, it can handle 54 - 127kg.
Using these snowshoes is easy. First, make sure your boots fit well within the Paragon Binding. Wrap the mesh strap around your boot and adjust it for a secure and comfortable fit. The toe stops will help you align your feet quickly. When you're on flat or gentle terrain, the 360° Traction Frames and DTX crampons will give you great grip. For steeper slopes, engage the Ergo Televator heel lifts by flicking your pole grip. This will reduce fatigue and improve traction. If you're in deeper snow, you can attach the modular flotation tails for extra support. When it comes to maintenance, after each use, clean the snowshoes with water to remove dirt and salt. Let them dry completely before storing. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for long periods as it might damage the materials. Check the bindings and crampons regularly for any signs of wear and tear. If something seems loose or broken, get it fixed right away.
