I think I finally have a good solution for wearing a foretrex and not losing it. 1) taking a page from Todd Hart's book, glue the foretrex to the strap behind it using Windshear or some other multi-purpose permanent adhesive. 2) take an extra strap (I've lost three, so I have a couple of straps) and put it on your wrist before you put on the foretrex. The extra strap keeps the foretrex from sliding down your wrist and extending over the back of your hand. I keep losing them when I put my palms out on the trampoline and bend my hand backwards. I raced the a-cat all week and the 20 for the following weekend and it survived very well.
