RE: [RC] [RC] New, improved Boa Boots - terry banisterI have been testiing the original Boas with the New-style Gaitors for the past couple of months, and can definitely vouch for the new-style gaiters with the Foot Plate.The original gaiters sometimes spun up out of the boot, but the new ones cannot do this. The result is that the new gaiters even prevent losing the boot on the occasion that the old-style dial mechanism on the boot somehow released itself under the cover (which happened to me at Malibu and I unknowingly rode the entire rocky section between vet check 2 &3 with one bare foot). But Since Then, I have been using the new-style gaiters, and even though the dial mechanism sometimes releases itself (I think my horse interferes and knocks it), the gaiters have held the boot on. I can hear that the boot is loose or the horse indicates there is something amiss, and I just look down, and hop off and retighten the knob and finish the ride. But NOW, the new Screw-On Protective Caps should prevent that self releasing of the knob as well! But if you already have the old-style knob on the Boas, put a felt disc or something in that knob cover to fill that dime-sized indentation on the inside, and that should prevent the crank knob from being able to pop up and disengage while the cover is on. (I think I am a minority that experienced the knob self-releasing).
