Riding/N00B Gear Advice

Community Calendar
DSM8

Event details

Gear try on day, bring what you got for others to try out different kind of gear and get some ideas on how to prep for different riding scenarios.
This is for those that know what they are doing to share with those that have no clue.
Mentoring or tormenting the N00Bs, it can go either way

Location

925 Chardonney Way
Escondido,Ca 92029

This is NOT a tech day do not show up expecting to work on your bike. You will be taunted and made fun of, and will have to do a poop patrol of the yard as penance. I have 2 dogs, that can be a lot of poop.

@nostep - Thanks for the heads up.  The Voile look similar to the Giant Loop Pronghorn straps.  I'm going to have order one to compare apples to apples.

The Voile 20" is $7/each  -   Giant Loop Pronghorn 18" is $29 for a 2/pk.   The Voile are WAY less expensive, especially if they're the same quality.  Voile offers co branding...I wonder...

Voile are bombproof. I’ve used them moto and skiing for  couple decades. Never seen one fail yet. 
Buy 2 in each length and be done with it. Then you can manage just about any reasonable length by latching sizes together. 
I also carry a set of 2 Green Chili straps as the ultimate bomber straps. Have even strapped Moto’s into pickups with them. Primary used for strapping broken luggage and “chit” onto racks and plates.

Also note Voile come in both the plastic and the metal buckle. I’ve used both without fail but will only order metal in the future for Moto and reserve plastic for skiing. 
I suspect Mosko straps are made by Voile as I can’t tell any difference outside of the pretty blue color. Their wider black ones are considerably tougher and less stretchy.
