how does one do this every time i step into my bindings my pants get stuck and they rip and such and even when i lift them up to step in they find a way to troll me and get stuck again.

nordica does it right but i dont have a job and cant buy anything but some old raichles so i though i could make some ghetto ass ones out of coat hangers. long story short it didnt work anyone else done this and have a better idea? thanks members of noobskewlers

I also want this, my Nordica Double Sixes even have the holder for the pant-clip but it's not there!

I mean you can just remember to pull your pant leg up when clipping in...

it's not just that. then you don't have to roll up your cuffs walking around. I'd love to see if someone has done this

I know! The double six is the same shell as the ace of spade but Nordica was too lazy to put the 5 cent piece on there...

i made those clips out of some thin, semi-stiff....semi-flexible plastic. And two bolts with nuts/washers.  Less than a dollar in materials and totally saves my pants from dragging throught the mud and getting shredded. I did have to drill a hole but its tiny. Doesnt affect anything. And after i click into my bindings, i just pull my pant cuffs out and over the clips.

I have huge Saga pants, and i hve no problem with them getting stuck in the bindings or whatever, because I roll the strechy cuff on the inside of the skipant over the pant it self, and then it never gets close to getting stuck. Dont know how else it explain it then the above, but I hope you understand what im trying to say....

I'm thinking about emailling Nordica and saying that I've broken the clips on my ace of spades and would like some replacements.  Just to see if they'll play along!

Not a bad idea, I don't know If I would be down to drill a hole though. Some glue should work fine though

i have had no problem with anything you people are saying. i have last years spk 90s and baggy xl analog pants and even though the heels get dirty from dragging i havent had a problem with them getting caught in my bindings. (jesters)

no idea and I'd rather not try it. also perhaps one day i will decide they look fine and use them. It also took me months to figure out what they were ha
