Here's my C & C from 53N when I'm out the door in 30" snow overnight to shovel a path to the street:
I'm going to be wearing a Carhartt coat with a zipper front and some zipper pockets. Big snowmobile gloves.
1. I don't like the pulls with the clip-type fasteners. Just too easily rubbed open. Might never see it fall in the snow, won't find that until spring.
2. I like the colors, going to be easy to spot any time in th eopen on the ground.
3. I like the split-ring fasteners. I've got to be able to pull on the tabs with my gloves (or mitts) and the rings won't easily open at all.
I like the big rings (middle left) and the straight tabs with the Turk's Head(?) knots at the end. Good stopper if the pulls get wet & icy.
Half a dozen, middle right style but with big rings, will be fine, thank you.
