The Tail.

help with the floatation but boy ho boy was it hard to install. It was so hard that I’m afraid to remove them.

Work better for deeper snow

Glad I got this as we had a couple of big dumps of heavy wet snow in Vermont this year!

Just the ticket

My 8 year old lightning ascents fell apart on me this winter, but I liked them so much I bought the new style shoes along with tails. I could not be happier! Super light and quick. The new style bindings are a breeze to put on - take off and very secure. The tails also work great and are a snap to attach.

Tails to short

Fit is good but the performance is lacking. They need to be longer

Simple Solution

I received these, but unfortunately I have been unable to use them since the snowshoes were on backorder and the snow season has ended. So I can only provide a four star rating at this time. However, the design looks simple and should work well.

The Best snowshoe accessory ever made!!

Well designed and engineered. Great to have the versatility of a larger snowshoe when needed, and a shorter snowshoe when day hiking. MSR leading the way!

Everyone needs a little tail!

EZ to carry. EZ to attach. Just that extra bit for floatation is nice but in soft conditions.

Not for older 2 Toe Strap Lightning Snowshoes

Tails will not work with the old ""2 toe strap style"" Lightnings that I bought several years ago. Frames of newer Lightnings are notched to accept the tails. The old shoes are still working fine but would be nice to have more float on deep powder.

No-Brainer to have these

Small and relatively easy to put on, can't come up with a reason not to have these along: extra flotation with just a clip on.
