User Review: MSR Lightning Ascent
|
Rating: 
The binding rubber becomes inelastic below 10 F. The two front binder straps continually release - usually after the plastic keep breaks.
All straps must be taped at the dead end or they will spontaneously leave the shoe at some point.
The two strapper requires so much pressure to keep boot centered that only plastic boots can be worn for long periods.
Edge teeth have ripped my Patagonia Guide Pants twice so it is advise to wear gaiter with these shoes.
Otherwise, a great platform.
Binding needs tweaking.
