Hay,
Right I have a problem using my Pantin, it is a left foot one, but I don't think that would be why it slips like it does. The issue I'm having is when jugging on long pitches which is the only time I really use it (or try too), its generally fine to start with but it soon starts slipping, the teeth aren't catching into the rope, so as I go to stand my left leg just drops again. Its not dangerous just incredibly annoying. I'm going to take a guess its probably because I'm not wearing wellies but a pair of boots (La Sportiva, Trango S Evo's, i cant imagine anything worse than wellies in this heat and often humidity underground) so it might be because its sitting at an odd angle on my foot. Iv tried adjusting it, forward and back but it still does it, also up and down but still no joy
Has anybody else had this problem? Or have any ideas as to why it is happening? I'm about to give up with it until I return to old blighty and don my wellies and thermals again, see if I get along with it better there.
Thanks
