cpuck 0 #2 September 23, 2013 Great video! As far as removable sliders go, does anyone prefer one of another? I know there are about 4-5 different manufacturers that make them... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't speak to the force needed to release a 2 x 2 inch keeper, but I use a 1 x 1 inch keeper and it requires only a couple pounds of pull force in any direction to release.Chuck Akers D-10855 Houston, TX Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't speak to the force needed to release a 2 x 2 inch keeper, but I use a 1 x 1 inch keeper and it requires only a couple pounds of pull force in any direction to release. It is the two inch wide velcro that concerns me. However. a long one inch wide Velcro that is excessively long, in a sheer configuration may also hang up. I do agree that a small piece of one inch is just fine. The main point to make here is, test it. If you can't pull it off easily, use another method. Thanks for your input!Instructional Videos:www.AdventureWisdom.com Keynote Speaking:www.TranscendingFEAR.com Canopies and Courses:www.BIGAIRSPORTZ.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnMitchell 16 #5 September 24, 2013 I like the split slider myself. Most of the advantages without having to pull it down past all my stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
