The MSR Lightnight Explore Snowshoe is a hiking snowshoe for winter trails, steep climbs and challenging traverses. A 360-degree traction frame and steel crampons provide grip across variable terrain, while the lightweight TPU-coated nylon deck moves quietly over snow. Paradigm bindings cradle feet with stretch mesh, limit heel drift and allow field repairs. For steep ascents, Ergo Televator heel lifts engage with a flick of a pole grip to help reduce fatigue. Add modular flotation tails for deeper powder or heavier loads.
