MSR Tail Snowshoe Extensions

No, they are specifically designed for MSR Lightning, Revo, and Evo series snowshoes. They will not fit other brands or older MSR models not listed in the compatibility specifications.

Yes, the attachment system is designed to be tool-free and intuitive. You can easily snap them on or off while on the trail without needing to remove your footwear or the snowshoes themselves.

These tails add 5 inches of length to your snowshoes. This extra surface area is significant when you are breaking trail in deep, fresh powder or carrying a heavy overnight pack that sinks your snowshoes deeper into the snow.

Not necessarily. They are best reserved for deep snow conditions or when your total pack weight exceeds the recommended load capacity of your standard snowshoes. On packed trails or firm snow, you likely won't need the extra length.

The tails are primarily for flotation and do not have their own crampons. While they don't hinder your traction, they also don't add grip, so you should still rely on the main snowshoe's crampons for stability on icy or steep terrain.
