When I bought my first pair of Hotronics I asked the shop about the brackets. They said many people have lost battery packs using them and they suggested using the clip but running the boot strap through the middle of the clip so they couldn't separate from the boot. This is what I did but the battery is kind of in the way of the top buckle on my boots. On my wife's boot they can be pushed further back so they aren't in the way.

Has anyone used the brackets for more than one season? I'm curious on how well they hold the battery?

Feels pretty secure to me.

That's a good one! Bummer about the package, but I think you can overlook the delay if it means we're getting snow!

Is this the one you ordered last week from Tramdock? Mine is scheduled to arrive tomorrow, and in fact its only 2.5 hours away in western PA. I wonder why yours is stuck!

yes, the one from last week on Tramdock. Mine is "stuck" in Shrewsberry MA. that's the stop before it hits my local depot.

i just cleaned out a spot in the basement last night to setup so i could wax for this weekend's trip. I'll be bummed if i don't get to try it out.

that sucks. I don't know why it can't get there ahead of the storm!

good luck and post in the OT to let me know how it went.

I want to use mine, but my skis don't need waxed yet!

That does seem a little odd. Hasn't started snowing up there yet, AFAIK...:???:

i agree and if they show up on my door step today i wouldn't be all that surprised.. i think of it like the what the airlines have done.. cancel early to set expectations of your customers.

Some more insulated 3/4 length CW-X bottoms are supposedly out for delivery today. Is it wrong that I'm looking forward to receiving tights in the mail today?? :lol:
