Bought these to saddle hunt. First time to ever use gaffs and I absolutely love them. Very comfy and light weight. I did remove the Velcro and lower leather buckle and replaced with quick release strap/buckles. I needed it to be quiet. That Velcro is super loud. Only and issue if you hunt. In my pic you can see I also added some camo duct tape to reduce contact noise and help them blend a bit. Great gaffs doe a rookie!
