Sid, I had one in my Riot glide it worked well. I found it to slip a little like most back bands of it's design. I've also got an IR band in my amp and really like the adjustment system, no slipping! I've though about putting one in my Romany but the Impex band I put in it last year works well too. I think impex is making the new bands that NDK is using now on some of there boats. I'm not sure who sells them around here (NY) but they are imported through pyranha and make there back bands too. The IR band use a rachet system from snow board bindings. They are very easily adjusted while paddling and stay put even when thrashing around. Like I said I'm not sure how much work it would take or even if it's worth it. here's a link to there support page they have a instillation guide so you can see how they work: http://www.immersionresearch.com:8040/backratchet/support.htm JFF ______________________________________________________________________________ Sid said: I am looking for a new/better backband for my Romany and Romany Explorer. Wondered if anyone has experience with the Bomber Gear Backband? thanks, sid *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
