Here's what other sites are saying:

From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. MSR Men's Lightning Snowshoe (Fall 2008) Tuned specifically for flat and rolling terrain, Men's Lightning Snowshoes by MSR represent the evolution of our groundbreaking Lightning Ascents. They use a two-strap, step-on binding and forego the Televator Heel lift of the Lightning Ascent, making them the lightest snowshoe in their class. The edge of the Lightnings Total Traction frame has been specially designed to be a perfect match for any snow conditions over moderate terrain, while all the other standard Lightning Series features make them an excellent choice for any adventure that demands the best traction-to-weight ratio in existence. Features: Total-Traction frame delivers unprecedented 360 grip. The lightest snowshoe in its category. 2-strap step-on binding fits a variety of boots and is fast, secure, and easy to use. True Hinge steel crampon enhances foot stability and minimizes heel drift, resulting in more efficient gait mechanics and less expended energy. 100% Waterproof"

From Backcountry.com:
"The bottom edges of MSR's Lightning Showshoes have a wave-like design that works splendidly on flat and slightly rolling terrain. Since you don't always just slip forwards or backwards, this Total-Traction frame provides 360-degree grippage. Hate that heel-drag and snow kick-up? The tail's rocker design helps eliminate both. The Lightning Snowshoes' steel crampon minimizes heel-drift, and the aircraft-grade aluminum frame cuts down on weight so your legs feel less fatigued. The two-strap binding system on these MSR Lightnings fits a variety of boots and is easy to step into and tighten.*Please see sizing chart for size tips."

From Backcountry Outlet:
"With the lightweight, high-traction MSR Lightning Snowshoes on your feet, steep, snowy terrain feels like a walk in the park. The Lightning snowshoe is made with an aircraft-grade aluminum frame that's powder-coated to keep snow from sticking to it. 360 Full-wrap traction makes steep, icy slopes as solid as a flight of stairs. At only 3lb 2oz (22in), this MSR snowshoe is the lightest in its class. With its excellent traction and lightweight design, the Lightning snowshoe is ideal for both advanced winter travelers and beginners looking to explore the snow-covered trails."

From CampSaver.com:
"MSRs new Lightning snowshoes represent the evolution of our groundbreaking Lightning Ascents.Like the Ascents, they feature a patent-pending Total Traction frame that delivers unrivaled 360 traction, as well as the same superior performance and usability.But because they dont include Televators, Lightnings are even lighter, making them ideal for use on flat and rolling terrain or any adventure that demands maximum traction and minimum weight."
