Can't say i've had that happen but can see how it would cause you to fall over though. Only time i've loosened them or similar is when i've caught them on something.

i do not see any way of fixing this other than ordering the part from the spare parts menu (although i cannot remember if that part is available to buy)

maybe you have fat legs

Personally I;ve NEVER had the velcro come off, lapse or break in anyway shape or form. Yours may be a bit crappy.

That or your subjecting it to a sudden great gain of width this stretching it and breaking the numerous tiny loops.

Hmmm, my legs were a little too small, so the straps were a bit loose, so I cut up a foam mat thing and wrapped my legs in it, to pack it out. It made it much more comfy too!

i have two straps supplied with mine to lash them to my legs....tht little strap connected to the pj, to me it is a last resort if the binding straps come off

i wear knee pads makes my leg bigger and protects me more aswell and the straps seem alot tighter and improves my skill which is a bonus

Yeh, my knee pads give me a lot more stability and padding.

I can gve you 3 options to secure the knee more securely to the PJ.

a/'Calf-Cuff' cost about £80 I think. Officially not available in the UK at the moment. You have to know someone on the continent to buy them for you and get them to send them to you ( a couple of friends have done this).

Basically, its a replacement for the knee bar. A wrap around padded pad about 4-5'' wide.

b/ Go get a couple of those roof rack webbing straps and wrap them around your legs and tie tight.

c/ 'Pinhead 69' straps ( google you should find them). Basically a refinement of the above. Its an 'X' shaped arrangement of wbbing with quick release buckles and a strap to secure the arrangement to the knee bar. Cost is about a £10 inc p&p.

If you look at the picture below, the 4 people on the left. 3 have option b whilst me ( the 1 waving

) have option c
