It would seem that I am a bit of an idiot

ok ok you didn't have to agree with the title that fast you could have considered it for at least 3 seconds

As you might have seen it was my Birthday yesterday and the wife asked me what I wanted and so I pointed her towards an ebay purchase of a new set of knee sliders for my track day suit as my old set I have worn out. She then wrapped them up and gave them to me as a present.

I have gone to Velcro them to my suit today and turns out what I ordered was "Reverse Velcro" sliders so they are fluffy side to fluffy side with no stick

Ebay seller has been very helpful and is allowing a return...... but what a rookie move

Got to be honest didn't even know this was a thing.

Just don't do the same with your elbow and shoulder sliders

[Ruffian]

Yep very few suits use reverse velco
Only spyke comes to mind but know there is others.

These things happen,
But happen more in old age Rob!!
Just saying tee hee hee

My Spyke is reverse velcro too

Do you need still ? Got a brand new set of Wiz black with hi Viz yellow graphics, I've no need for them

I didn't know this was a thing, so reckon I'd have made exactly the same mistake. Fortunately, I can't get my knee down, so mine will last forever

Thanks for the offer but as part of the return i then reordered the correct thing and they are already on there way and should arrive today o tomorrow so all good, but thanks for the offer

glad it was not just me then.... if it makes you feel better took me 7 years to master the skill, but once you know you know....
if you want some road rash on your knee sliders pass them in my direction and happy to do the honors for you
