Trip's straps were good. I have a set on my son's stilts and they work fine. I wish I could get in touch with him so I could find out who he had make them for him. Incidentally Spud, is there any way you can put me in touch with Pinhead?
The pads work but will break at the first fall. That said, as Naz pointed out, if they saved your knees then they have done their job. For the rental outfit, I'm moving over to Anarchy pads because they are comfortable with knee bars and very tough.
As everything is destined for the dustbin, the amount I purchased can only be described as "too many".
