The Error of Asking your Customers for Reviews Before They Can Try Out the Equipment.
I bought these at the end of the snowshoe season and have NOT used them. Presumably these will work at least as fine as did their predecessors.

Haven’t used them this year.
Haven’t used them this year. Atmospheric river keep us from the snow. Roads are impassable. Now the spring thaw is upon us. Maybe next year I’ll get to try them out.🤞🏻

Snow Shoes
Bought these for my son for Christmas. I bought old Denali shoes years ago and love them for blazing a trail through the woods for the dogs. The Tails are very helpful for flotation if it's a deep snow fall until we get the trail established. Good gear...

They don't fit older models,
They don't fit older models, having to do some grinding and bolting on to get them to work.

Hopeful
Have not actually used them but did test for ease of assembly and found it to be simple. They appear to be of high quality. The only possible problem I can foresee will be with them staying attached as the nut that screws down to attach does not have any kind of locking mechanism which could lead to loosening and loss of a tail.

They come off too easily
A little difficult to put on until you get the hang of it. Did add some floatation, but in 6-8"" of fresh snow and 220 lb load, they really didn't help appreciably. Worst problem is one kept coming off, until I eventually lost it. And you can't buy a single tail. I wish the design could be improved. I only recommend them if you really, really need that extra floatation, and you are willing to tighten them down so tight that they will be very hard to remove.

Good performance boost for heavier loads
These are relatively easy to put on and take off even with gloves on, and really boost the performance of the snowshoes if you are planning on going on an extended trip with some gear.

Great for those awesome powder days
I use my Evo snowshoes for doing laps on my snowboard. But some days the snow is deep, dry, and awesome. Deep snow makes the downhill super fun. But the uphill is a slog. These tails make it the slog so much easier. They attach extremely easy with just a twist of a knob. Instant flotation! Now I carry them in my backpack every trip up the mountain just in case I need them.

Great product, makes snowshoes much more versatile
I got these to help keep my snowshoes from sinking into deep fluffy snow. I only need them in fresh powder that's over a foot deep but they make quite a big difference. The MSR system is brilliant and allows you to decide whether you want the maneuverability of short shoes or the flotation of longer ones. Also keeps the cost of snowshoeing down and makes my adventures in the snow all the more enjoyable.
