Thanks. Don't think they will work. The webbing is doubled at the loop.The space for aiders is 3/4” wide, so you might make it work if you can scrunch the left over 1/4” on the webbing.
Eh that's just someone having fun with stealth strips and hockey tape lol.Think if I were a stick manufacturer I’d find a way to silence and camo them from the factory so I didn’t have to see people defacing them like this
You could always attach them with an amsteel soft shackle or something like that. Relatively easy to DIY. But then i suppose it would be easier to just do a diy amsteel aider. (I only use my aiders on the way up so getting my foot into them on the descent doesn't factor into my thinking)I am thinking about getting some of these. Does anyone know if these webbing aiders will work on the Lattitude sticks?

Yeah but it looks like garbage… from a branding perspective it seems like a miss.Eh that's just someone having fun with stealth strips and hockey tape lol.
I would bet that the next stick "gamechanger" will be stacking pads or some factory applied stealth strip type layer to quiet sticks. It's an aftermarket niche the big companies haven't quite exploited yet, just like amsteel diy aiders were a few years ago. The light stick craze has been the leader, but now people will need a new gimmick to differentiate themselves in the next few years.
Eh I think they care about the $ from the sale. There's plenty of influencers pumping them, and that's a pretty common look for an average person's stick.Yeah but it looks like garbage… from a branding perspective it seems like a miss.
But most people do something to quiet them, seems there’s gotta be a way to do it without making your stick unidentifiable to all those instagram voyeurs.

Well I think they look pretty good, so I guess it's back to even.I’m the beholder
I didn't know it came with an elastic strap... I must have thrown it away with the box. I was going to add one to hold my aider for storage.
Did the strap break or the buckle part? I've had good luck with voile straps but the latitude strap does feel "cheaper" in the hands- less stretchy I guess. Haven't used mine a ton yet though so still unbrokenLattitude is sending me a new one, hopefully it gets here before season opens Saturday but still curious if mine was just a defect or whether they are just prone to breaking. My sticks were still moving so I tighten the strap one more hole when it broke so it's not like I just overtighten the strap.
That's exactly where mine broke.Yes, mine broke on about the 3rd use also. I contacted them and they said they would send me another and that never happened. I am using a Volle now.
