MSR Tail

"What I like is it increases floatation in deep snow and the snowshoes trail straight. What I dislike is that the tail fell off while out snowshoeing. Back tracked twice attempting to find the MSR tail extension with no luck. It’s heart breaking to experience losing a tail. MSR snowshoes are expensive and so are the tails. MSR should consider a gratuitous replacement in such events. There is definitely a design issue not good for Mountajn Safety Research Company. Down Hill skies have retainers so should the tails be strapped to the main snowshoe. Please consider sending those who have experienced a loss a replacement. MSR would you consider recalling and sending a web strap or cable retention system. Let’s keep MSR at the top of their game. Enjoy Winter and being in the great outdoors. Daniel M"

So happy with these!

"My husband and I both got pairs of 25in. Revo ascent's and broke em out after a big snowstorm in Tahoe. They handled great in over 2ft of fresh pow with the 5in. tails we got for them. We plowed fresh tracks and had so much fun. Very happy we chose these snowshoes. The strap type was the deciding factor. I really love how secure they feel on your feet without any hotspots the way it hugs the top of your foot evenly. Big thumbs up!"

I definitely would purchase again 5 star !

You can trust the snap on system

"The tails are really easy to take on and off. I was a little skeptical with the durability of the Snap on system but after a season of constant use, I'm Sold! Gives just the right amount of extra float for those Pow days."

More float, less work

"Might as well get them with the snowshoes. They make all the difference in soft snow, unless you don't have them"

Tails let me float

"Great product, easy to connect to snowshoes."

Are you putting them on correctly?

"On REVO EXPLORERS - The instructions say the pins should be below the deck. Well, on mine the pins go into predrilled holes in the deck frame. With the pins in those holes I don't see how they could drop off. It took awhile to figure this out. The instructions are simply wrong. Even the video on Utube is wrong as least as far as the snowshoes I bought last winter. If you have a problem call MSR. They'll want to do the right thing..."
