[FS Canberra] MSR Lightning Snow shoes

I posted these last winter but a bit late for the season but only sold the mainentance kit. I have two pairs of totally unused MSR Lightning Explore snow shoes (One each 22" and 25" both in the slightly narrower women's width for easier use). The Explore series is just below the Ascent series. I purchased these from Backcountry Gear in the US some years ago but little seems to have changed compared to the current version. 25" pair sold to Ms Mudd.

I am asking $300 a pair plus postage. Buy both pairs and save $50. Maintenance kit sold.

PIckup and inspection welcome in Canberra.

Can't get it to send
I would like to take a pair please.
Total snowshoe newbie. Think the 25inch though?
I am 64-66kg so with my Winter pack would probably be close to exceeding the recommended 80kg limit for the 22inch ? Not sure. Will definitely take one pair of whichever size you think is best if you are happy to post to Tas.Thank you!

I'm a similar size to you and use 25" Lightnings. They'll be perfect.

Thanks NNW. Appreciate it.
I bought the 25's. Now for a good dumping of snow and my first little snowshoe foray
