Booster straps

For anyone who has booster straps / has used them, do yours get progressively more loose during the day?

Many times during the day, I have to reach down and pull them tighter, the buckle just lets it slide like an inch.

Or any tips on how to mitigate this?

edit: i ski mostly park, not racing

Only very slightly. I got the middle version. Shoulda went with the WC cuz I find myself desiring more stiffness short of getting all new boots.

I have the WC on a Salomon boot. Never noticed them loosening up.

Check to see if the spring behind the clip you feed the strap through is loosing strength. That's my only guess. I've been using my pair for at least 5 years and haven't had any problems luckily.
