Leather knee sliders
« on: January 29, 2008, 09:36:08 PM »
Anyone ever used Leather knee sliders? Any feedback on them would be good. I know some people swear by them and others hate them. I may need a new pair soon so thought id try a set if they are ok.

Massive amount of  "friction" compared to any plastic jobby and quite pricey but do last OK.

They take a bit of getting used too and they smoke uber cool when you touch down.  People following often complain of the smell of burning flesh ;-)

I've got a set of Wiz leather ones, which I managed to briefly touch down at Snetterton last year - felt good.
