Re: Velcro tread

No, I'm not sure it would, but the concern is that it would. I had an old rain jacket with velcro straps that let you tighten the wrists, and over time the velcro really tore up the wrist part where there wasn't any loop side.

The point isn't whether it's legal or not... no one here can say definitively either way. It's questionable enough that a team could get different rulings at different events if they don't ask on the Q&A.
