First, thanks for that tip. That’s probably the one side of the buckle I did not try to lift up. It definitely made it easier. I think with some muscle memory that will become second nature. That gives me hope to hear that with some practice you’re not even thinking about it. To your point, they are definitely comfortable once I get them on. Second, I have seen Erika’s straps, I think they call it the trident, and it looked very similar to this one. There is a blue one I want to try out from them, so glad to hear that you are a fan. That’s always helpful! Thanks for helping me out here.👍🏼👍🏼

Good question, and I am not sure. I know it was under $200, so there may be a point of diminishing returns, Should something go seriously wrong with it. I’ve had it four months now and it literally has been running perfectly. Chrono works great as well.

Thank you for sharing that. Some great information there, and I have never really dug into the movement. I’m actually surprised!

My New Master of G Mudmaster, and now part of my weekend warrior equipment. Yes, I agree with you. I do need an altimeter in Chicago!

Loving this so far. Looks great in the yard. Light and very comfortable, in spite of its petite 54mm size. This GGB100-1AG is almost 9mm bigger than m...
