Re: Velcro strap
I like them. The other guys (AE, Xray) look at my velcro straps with disdain and replace their tape every other run it seems like. Then at least once a race night, one of those guys loses a battery on the track.
Why such an aversion to the strap? They don't weigh that much. In the classes I run (VTA, USGT) I'm adding weight anyway.
