Kestrel buckle covers

[justsomedude]

I thought I didn't care. But when your bridge is hanging loose, the bridge carabiner will hit right against your left leg buckle.

I think NewTribe should consider building this in

3" wide elastic cut 4.5" long, sew (not too close to the edge) and turn inside out.

Tight enough to stay in place but won't squeeze the buckle open (tight INNERTUBE WILL!).

This is perfect. Glad I didn't stealth strip it yet, I like this better.

And I will slide these out of the way when buckling. I want to KNOW it is connected

Going to try a sock cover (synthetic is best) on the bridge carabiner. Best way is to untie the rope and poke a small hole in the toe and then retie.

Some people do this on their tethers with a Ropeman or grigri as well. Covering a device would definitely raise safety eyebrows...obviously only cover a tether device after you were all set up

We did this in prototype testing, it was a bell. So sewn on the top so it would not slide down, but could be turned "inside out" to see positive connection. Ultimately decided to leave it up to the user on how to silence.

I knew you thought of it

Nice! This answers the question I had yesterday.

Tacking one end down would keep it in place I don't like to sew into safety webbing.

Been using kid socks for years to slide over carbineers, ropeman, buckles, etc. Did a video sometime back using them to wit steps on a strap as well. Cheap, easy to replace

Yeah..I'm going to dig around for some tighter fitting socks. Just trying to avoid cotton.

You'd need small baby socks on the kestrel leg buckles : But I don't know if they would be thick enough to quiet it down
