Worst Ever

Rating:*

this is the worst designed foot pod attachment i've ever used. i have lost 2 t6 footpods with this attachment. it is supposed to stay on via rubber tension. but if you run trail or mud it's bound to come off. no doubt. i've kicked it off in the middle of a 50km race after a couple miles of moderate bushwhacking... there goes $100. i've also stepped in mud in the cascade mountains that almost took my shoe off. i saved the shoe, but the foot pod was gone forever. this thing sucks.

i also know for a fact suunto has updated this piece and it's now presumably better.
