Measure, re-tie and replace: a thirty-minute routine for your bar. We paid for everything in this article ourselves, and nobody sent us anything to review.
How it held up
We used each piece of kit for a full season before writing anything down. Short tests flatter almost everything.
- Replace worn parts before they fail
- Keep a small repair kit in the car
- Inspect stitching monthly
- Rinse with fresh water after every session
The best piece of kit is the one you forget you are wearing.
