However, being a high profile, its like your driving in a wind tunnel with the rack installed. Knowing that boots are bound to get scratched up, I decided to shrug it off. I will post a follow-up review if my opinion changes as I use my new toys ;-) I dont use it for squatting as Ive never had a problem just squatting with the bar (and Ive heard its not great to use a pad for that). The little soft shell case that they come with is handy, but I wish it were a tiny bit bigger. I got a pair in red and yellow. That is my review. I absolutely believe this to be the best speaker money can buy because of its good sound quality but mainly because of how insanely tough this thing is. Great quality shirt and dose to shrink when wash We have a family member who is a certified fabricator so we got it installed for free.
