I'm not making this up, nor is my pair of Rally FR's an exceptional case. I was talking about what turkeys these leg guards are the other day up on Wonderland when one of the guys in the group, Bill, suddenly got real excited as said, "yea, man! Mine are exactly the same," and he showed me. This makes it even harder to get the straps to stay closed, since the velco they're supposed to fasten to is safely tucked away out of reach.

And while we're on the subject of closures, the entire Race Face concept here is a couple thousand years out of date. Your velco should set the staps for BUCKLES or CLASPS, so that you don't have to undo and redo everything from scratch every time you put the darn things on. I believe the technology represented by the clasp has been in widspread use since before the birth of Christ. Time to get with it, Race Face!
