Must have on my Lightning Assents Snow Shoes...
Here in Washington the snow in the backcountry is wet and then freezes agaian. These little retainers keep the straps tight so they don't pickup more snow ice making for much lighter feet. And better adventures.
Thanks for the great price and service SunnySports!

MSR Standard Strap Keeper The MSR Standard Strap Keeper features replacement clips for your MSR snowshoes. If you spend a lot of time outdoors, in the snow; you know that snowshoes are essential to make it through the day. MSR snowshoes are some of the best on the market and come in a variety of styles with the latest features of functionality. Along with MSR snowshoes, it is a good idea to have extra strap clips, in case you lose one or more of them, or have an accident and damage one of your clips. This pack provides 8 replacement strap clips, that are durable and as compatible as the originals. Their compact size means you can put them in your backpack to take with you just in case you need them. If you have MSR snowshoes, it is a good idea to be prepared; buy the MSR Standard Strap Keeper, too.
This product can only be shipped to U.S. addresses.

My wife and I have the MSR Lightning Ascent Snowshoes. While trekking in extreme cold, I lost my balance and stepped onto the binding of my downhill snowshoe. Two of the standard plastic strap keeper shattered, leaving the tail of the straps flapping with every step. These aluminum studs replace the standard plastic strap keepers, and are unbreakable. In my opinion, I believe these expedition strap keepers are compatible with all MSR snowshoe bindings that use the urethane straps with holes spaced 3/8" apart. Contact Cascade Designs for confirmation. Since these keepers are aluminum studs, you must be able to press the strap down onto the stud, and this may be difficult when wearing bulky gloves. I prefer them over the standard keepers because once they are set, they do not come loose until you deliberately yank the strap off of the stud.
