Poster: A snowHead
|
I've seen that there are a quite a few threads on the subject of these already, however I've already decided to buy them. The problem is, there seem to be two makes:
These ones by Snow and Cock, made by Con'formable and:

these ones by some mob called Snow Metrix. They're more expensive, but say they're the "original". I don't really care about that, but are they much of a muchness or is there an actual difference? Would rather go with the cheaper ones obviously.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

I have no idea what the difference might be, but I had them (the original) fitted on my factors and they when from stiff and uncomfortable to just fine, recommended.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

andersont, the pictures are of the same product, just make sure you get the correct stiffness....unless you are very powerful and heavy go for the 3 band one, normally described as the "expert/racer" (it is the one which was £35 in the second link, although i ma not sure why shops discount products like this that are ongoing) and not the world cup... the world cup one has 2 of the three layers of elastic stitched together to make it stiffer

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Hi mate, thanks for the advice. I went for the expert/racer like you said, it had three bands. The advanced/intermediate also had two like the world cup, but I had a look and they were two seperate ones of the same thickness.

andersont,
sounds like something was in the wrong packet
junior: 2 thin bands and shorter strap
intermediate: 2 bands normal length strap
expert/racer: 3 equal bands normal length strap
world cup: 3 equal bands the inner 2 of which are bar tack stitched together, normal length strap
Monium, the booster (as it is elasticated)just gives a bit more rebound and helps to get the tongue of the boot closer to the leg...some people love them others don't really notice any difference

CEM, thanks. I guess I'll give it a go and see what happens. The velcro ones on my boots are not elasticated, so no rebound I guess. Might just help, and I have S&R vouchers to waste. If not, maybe I'll have to let you try and help me over the summer
