Good arm restraints
Posted: Wed Mar 31, 2021 12:29 pmHey, new to SRF. Looking to buy some arm restraints. Any suggestions? Don’t know if it makes a difference but I’m 6ft.
Thanks!

(One is used to keep the padded part on your arm and the other to attached to your belts. Both are adjustable through the D-Rings) I feel all manufactures supply plenty of strap, so your height really won't be a factor. Welcome to SRF! Hope this helps...

I have been using Simpson for nearly 20 years but borrowed a pair of some other brand and was pleasantly surprised that the other ones didn't move around on my arms (or straight off when braking and downshifting). Wish I could remember what they were, but that's the only real difference I can see... if they're covered in a satin-like material they are slippery.
To combat that some folks sew them onto or into their suit sleeves. I went the other way and have them on a Y-strap so they stay in the car when I get out. Just remember to take them with you when you get your annual gear tech.
