It really is fun watching things interweave and develop around here.

I have the Buckingham BuckAlloy Spurs with Velcro Cushion Wrap Pads from memory and love the Velcro foot strap and top Velcro strap. I tighten the foot strap similar to a ratchet strap pulling up and then bringing it down to the side. hope tis makes sense

Loving the Velcro lower straps from Buckingham. 1/2" wider strap is nice.
Also repurposed some Velcro cinch straps for the tops. Could never get the perfect fit before, always a little too loose or a little too tight. I'm really loving these. Time will speak to durability, but they're pretty tough so far.

Just keep the sawdust outta the hook and loop enclosure. I had the velcro wrap pads for years until I moved on to caddies, then the steel shin cups. The last one turned out to be the best for ME.

Been wanting a better upper strap lately. Those ones I linked above don’t last long. Bought a pair of Gecko Velcro lowers with a quick connect buckle, and I’m trying to figure out a way to attach them. The split ring is way too big. So far the throw line seems to work.

Hoped for a laugh at the idea of underwear needing a belt.

Try a drawstring :^P

Seriously though, I'm cheap, so when the elastic goes out on the undies, I install a drawstring, and use them for work.

On topic, I've thought about velcro, and don't think I'd like them. Not a fan of velcro anyway, and I like the repeatability of buckle straps. I can put them on exactly the same every time, so there's zero variability in fit.

I’ve always found the holes on regular straps to be either too tight or too loose. Velcro is perfect every time.

What got me thinking about velcro, is every time I gear up, I forget something, and end up waddling around like an idiot so I don't have to remove the spurs. The time savings/ease of velcro over buckles isn't a big deal doing it once, but repetition shows it's value. I ended up discarding the idea due to the post above. I just need to work harder at getting my shit together, and being prepared before putting the spurs on.
