I bought the straps to pair with Lek's Crosstrail FX One Superlite hiking/running poles because they came with too big MLXL straps. Unfortunately, this slightly smaller SML size was too small for a size 9 hand. Had to freeze between sizes. The tightening does not reach the wrist and therefore remains loose. On the other hand, the bigger ones have to be tightened to the very end to get a somewhat reasonable tightening, they still remain a bit loose, the strap loosens the extension and catches on the clothes
These are really light, 17g each, which is practically half compared to similar ski straps. I had thought that these would also work as a lighter and more breathable alternative for that purpose with my other Leki poles. However, you would have to use these with a glove - through the black edges there are spikes from the sharp edge of the mesh material, which scratches the wrist.
Next, I'm going to try Lek's Nordic Breeze Shark claws with this fastening system. However, it limits the use of the glove when hiking, i.e. you can't keep a fleece glove or a rain glove in your hand then. Maybe I'll take those bigger thongs with me for bad weather, but it seems a bit pointless.
The reason I am motivated to get this system working is that these will greatly help someone with snap fingers.
