With the "3-bar" adjusters stamped out a single piece of flat stock - perfect!

I've seen a lot of misapplications -- like not having the restraint around the wrist (which on most humans is the smallest diameter of the arm -- my biceps come in a close second).

In looking at some on eBay, it appears that new Crow #11574 restraints which use the prohibited dual D-rings for length adjustment are still available.

However, the Crow #11574A and 11574A2 look OK - they use the flat, stamped 3-bar strap length adjuster.

I sent off an order for a pair of Profox arm restraints. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they will be OK.

The Profox restraint in the foreground of the picture looks fine, but the ones in the background are  questionable.

Remember it is the adjuster only (not the rings that attach the tether to the arm band) that is the issue. If you click on the link in the website Neil posted there is a "click here for tethers only" link. It shows the proper 3 bar adjusters on all the straps.

Wow, my restraints were delivered this afternoon! They look nice and the tether length adjusters are definitely not D-rings. YAY Profox Racing!
