Purchased these new SKS locks for my second-hand Yakima setup. My brother swears it was scaring the fish away but thats just cus he wasnt catching anything lol. from the mud or rain in an instant and "aint nobody got time" to be changing their shoes before they do that. Do NOT buy! Very plasticy, but still solid. Perfect so I can hook a lanyard on it so I can easily find it. Wish it was a little more thicker but good case fits perfect looks good The only thing that could hold these things in is friction, and the tips just dont do it for me no matter the size. Same goes for the Sols, which are pretty much designed like a tank due to the super strong headband and hard but not brittle plastic. They are a consumer electronics brand that has proven to me that they can be trusted.
