Someone else experiences that the thing you adjust the length of the straps always slips down after some minutes of skiing? So you have to take off your jacket and stuff to tighten them again?

yeah i get that too.  i try to put them as close to my top layer as possible so they're not difficult to readjust.  it's not a big deal though, it helps your steeze

It's a big deal for me! It annoys the hell out of me. When it happens, my pants starts falling down or the straps fall down on my arms. And it's hard for e to re-adjust because I have a jersey over it

well i can't help you with the buckles loosening but you can start by crossing the straps.  They'll never fall to the sides if you cross them.

It's not the buckles! It's the thing you use to adjust the lenght on the straps that is "falling" down! So the straps get longer!

i have the same problem. it only happens sometimes. i find if i have them tight then they wont get loser, but if i dont have them tightened up a lot, they'll losen.

to fix the falling off your shoulders, just safety pin the straps together closer to your neck on your back.

that happened to me so i just unbuttoned the front straps and like switched them so when i crossed the straps it would fit smoothly on my body

it works great

hey guys,
So Ive had some of these problems with my pair too. But jay (saya_sagstraps) said that hes beginning to work on the ones for next year, and Ill definitly put in some imput and he will probably see this thread as well, so for the ones next season hopefully these issues can be figured out so they are super duper functional without having to fix them as often.
