The ramp are really good, haven?t tested the straps but straps are straps. For that gent Id suggest trying a medium and then give them a full minute to expand to your body heat . You just hold down the one button to reset the display. what it does mean is that using the volume + and - on my iPhone is far less useful because the increment is too much. I will spray the foot bed with leather protection spray and see if that works. these are honestly a great alternative. Also the wrist rest is something I didnt know I even wanted but its actually really nice and isnt too soft, the top 1/4 inch is nice padding and it is medium hardness underneath, a very nice balance, non intrusive and a good width but not too wide to where its awkward to use. This top is very flattering and fits as expected. Its for my son, same he had before. I now am able to ride this while I am in meetings where I am just and observer!
