Split Strap = Better Weight Distribution & Maximum Comfort

Update #4 · Feb 25, 2011 · 7 comments

Hi,

Its been busy over here at CSLR HQ as we prepare the packaging designs and finalize some changes before production. We have been thinking of ways to demonstrate the comfort of the Split Strap. Since comfort is hard to show we came up with some tests in the garage - one of which is the balloon weight distribution test.

The test consists of hanging straps over the balloon with equal 2.5lb weights. In each of our test we found that the balloon with the regular strap would compress much more than the balloon with the Split Strap on it. This is due to how the Split Strap is able to better distribute the load across the balloon. The improved weight distribution and reduced direct pressure is a feature of the Split Strap that helps maximize comfort.

Be sure to check out our Facebook page: http://on.fb.me/custom_slr and continue to help us spread the word.

Thank you,

Anne, Ben, Ivan

      This is a great way to show the benefits of the product! Well done... I hope the baloons had the same amount of air in them! ;)
