Using these MSR snowshoes is a breeze. First, make sure your boots fit well within the Paragon Binding. Just wrap the mesh strap around your boots and adjust it until it's secure but not too tight. You can easily align your feet using the toe stops. When you're on flat or gently sloped terrain, the 360 Traction Frames will keep you steady. For steeper slopes, use the Ergo Televator heel lifts. Simply flick your pole grip to engage them. This will reduce fatigue and give you better traction.
If you're in an area where extra flotation is needed, attach the Modular Flotation tails. They're easy to add and will give you more stability.
Here are some important notes. Don't exceed the load capacity. The regular capacity is 54 - 100kg, and with the tails, it's 54 - 127kg. Make sure to check your bindings before each use to ensure they're in good condition.
For maintenance, after each use, clean off any snow or debris. Let the snowshoes dry completely. Store them in a cool, dry place. If the bindings get wet, dry them thoroughly to prevent freezing or damage. And that's all you need to know to get the most out of your MSR Lightning Ascent Paragon 25 snowshoes.
