Hi Friends!

We hope you're able to get outside to enjoy the company of friends and family during the holidays. It's so important to stay active when the days are shorter and the weather is chilly. And, as we always say, the right gear makes all the difference in the enjoyment and success of outdoor experiences, so we’ve been working on a ton of new winter content for you.

This year has been different and challenging in a lot of ways, but we feel extremely fortunate to be able to continue sharing our love for the outdoors through CleverHiker. Thank you so much for following and being part of our community. We'd love to hear from you on social media. Keep in touch!

Happy holidays!

GEAR PICK OF THE WEEK

MSR Lightning Ascent Snowshoes

The MSR Lightning Ascent Snowshoes (view women’s here) are a great all-around choice for both beginners and seasoned snowshoers. These snowshoes are designed with a ton of quality features, like heel lifts that make traversing uphill a breeze, aggressive toe crampons to ensure solid footing as you ascend, and bindings that are comfortable and secure. One of our favorite things about MSR snowshoes is that they give the option to add flotation tails (sold separately), so you can adapt the length of your snowshoes to the terrain and conditions. The Lightning Ascents are the most expensive snowshoes on our list, but they provide the best all-around performance with their excellent balance of traction, flotation, and comfort.

See how the Lightning Ascents stack up against the competition on our Best Snowshoes of 2020 List.
