Added Floatation
Just used my lightning tails for the first time today. They worked great and stayed firmly attached in new deep powder, on a well beaten path as well as when we summited and crossed crusty drifts where we periodically broke through. I am very happy with them. Although I feel like they kept me a little higher in the deep stuff, I don't feel like they made a huge difference but hey, I think my Lightning Ascents do a phenomenal job by themselves. No complaints there. I am pretty light so I don't sink to deep anyway. I do think that when I use my backpack with some weight these will make a difference. Overall they seem well built, they stay firmly attached and are easily put on and taken off.

Ingenious!
I am right in between snowshoe sizes depending on if I am carrying a pack so these make a smaller snowshoes perfect as I can add them on quickly when needed.

They tilt your feet
They do provide extra flotation, but only at the back end. So, wearing these tails was like walking on high heels. I returned them.

good but hard to put on
I like the functionality but getting the rubber strap over the rear of the snowshoe takes a lot of strength, not sure if out in the back-country and tired that I everyone would be up for this. I also worry about breaking the strap as it has to be pulled so hard.

Easy peasy
Relatively easy to put on considering they stay on very well! Easiest to put on if you're already standing in the snowshoes.

Easy to use
They are light, very easy to attach and give just enough additional area.
