This page is provided for reference to historical product information.

The women's MSR Lightning Flash 22 snowshoes provide ultralight efficiency that will give you the traction you need on flat or gently rolling terrain and groomed trails.

  • Sturdy aluminum 360° Traction frame provides security on any terrain, thanks to teeth integrated in the frame along the outside edges and underfoot
  • Urethane-impregnated nylon decking is lightweight, waterproof and durable; heel strike area features a welded-on reinforcement patch
  • SpeedLock™ system offers quick and easy, glove-friendly adjustment of your bindings
  • Make use of optional instep straps (sold separately) for even greater security; straps stay pliable and easy-to-adjust in cold temperatures, even when wearing mittens
  • Steel crampons underfoot not only grip well, but also provide stability and reduce heel drift for an efficient gait
  • All materials are waterproof, so they don't soak up water, freeze and get heavy
  • Compatible with MSR Lightning Snowshoe Flotation tails (sold separately) for an easy-on/off flotation boost when in deep snow or carrying extra weight
  • Please note: without tails, recommended load is up to 180 lbs., and with 5 in. tails, recommended load is up to 250 lbs.
  • Recommended load specification for the MSR Lightning Flash 22 snowshoes includes weight of hiker with gear; flotation will vary with snow condition

Please note: MSR products can only be shipped to U.S. addresses.

Made in USA.

      Comments about MSR Lightning Flash 22 Snowshoes - Women's:

      I have a pair with olive green color. I used in Yosemite in early 2012. The snowshoes were very easy to put on and secure for more than 6 hours snowshoeing. Some section of the trail didn't have enough snow coverage due to record low snow last winter. Getting off and get on the shoes were very fast and easy. It's also felt very stable on moderate slopes. In the areas where the snow was deep, I was able to stay aloft all the time. I think with my pack and everything I worn, the total weight was about 155 to 160lbs. I'm very happy with my MSR lightening Flash 22inch snowshoes.

        I often forgot I was wearing them because they are so light and fit securely. The traction and small size enabled me to freely walk anywhere on the mountain.
