Yes, it would be, but probably not worth the time and effort involved for the rest of this season I think you guys shift, right sanddrag? How often do you guys shift? Reliability is more of a side-issue, these belts have actually proven fairly reliable, especially the first set we had. The team just sees there is more pro then con to taking them off (it removes a complexity, weight, and in Phoenix we only used it 2-3 times in the many matches we played). It just kinda bothers me that it was working so well and then all of a sudden it becomes a pain

Ken, I'm not exactly sure on the specs yet as the team member who ordered the belts is probably sleeping I'll see if I can dig something up tonight.

Thanks for you guys' input.
