I can?t say much about this for personal use. Great price for them. The combination of the slickness of the fabric and weak Velcro closures made using these kayak pads dangerous. This is the perfect jacket and better than I expected, I am so glad that I purchased it! Vorweg, ich habe eine Erkrankung des Großzehengrundgelenks (Hallux Rigidus), trage daher eine spezielle Schuheinlage und benötige im Zehenbereich eher breite/hohe Schuhe mit tendenziell fester Sohle. One of the best racks on the market and you can?t beat the price! ? There is no electronic noise that I can discern and very little distortion at full volume. It might also be good in a closet for organizing clothes. I actually like the feel of them better on my sensitive arthritic feet than my Ugg?s with similar treatment applied. Those shoes are a dream!
