In Response To: Seeking: ...are these footbraces any good? (Scott Fitzgerrell)

: CLC has some Smart Track footbraces on sale. Any good?

I used them in my double baidarka and in Nicks surf boat. The area where you rest the ball of your foot is more comfy than the Yakima design and they seem less prone to jamming than the Yakima design. The rattail arm that is used to adjust the position of the footrest is a huge plus and very user friendly. This point alone would make me buy another set for my next build.

PS If you run into my wife dont mention the next build.
