How do you guys wear your booster straps with Full Tilts? Under the tongue or over? Really tight or loose? Which way works the best for you? Thanks

The only time i wore them i was at a rail jam so i didnt tighten them at all. So they didn't really do anything. Im guessing you have to wear them pretty tight to get full performance out of them.

Searchbar....   It replaces the booster strap on your boot, and depending on the reason for a booster strap, try wearing it inside and outside the shell and see which works best.

I wasn't asking how to wear booster straps. I was asking how do other people wear there booster straps with Full Tilts and how to get the best performance out of them.

this thread is full of fail.....why the hell would booster staps not do anything on FT's?

i put mine over the tongue, never tried under. and there's 3 different levels of booster straps, it may take a couple buys to find the one you like. I would only buy the two strap one if your super lightweight and a weak skier. otherwise 3-strap is fine for most people. Get the world cup if you like a really really tight fit and ski like a 6flex tongue or higher.

No i didn't buy them just cause they look cool... In my opinion they look retarded. When i'm hiking rails i like my boots loose and flexy so i didn't tighten them like i normally would and i wasn't going to put my power strap back on just cause i wasn't really using the booster. Don't go around hating on people when you don't know there situation.

booster straps are pointless if you don't tighten them. you have to put them on the liner and you have to tighten them, or else they won't do there job.
wrapping it around the shell and not tightening the strap will do nothing.

I'm pretty sure i just explained that in the post you quoted but ill say it again.

The only time i have had a chance to wear my booster straps was at a rail jam wear i don't tighten like i normally would if i was really skiing. When i actually go skiing i will tighten them that way there doing what there suppose to be doing. The whole point of this thread was to see how people prefer to wear them. I have some friends that wear them over the shell and some say under.
