| Hi, welcome to DIR-X
I think some people claim these aren't really necessary if you get the technique right. Also, there are reports that although they are good at stopping gas getting into your lower legs, they are even better at making sure it never leaves there!
I am having the same problem as you regarding feet ballooning on ascent. I have been going a little "feet down" on ascent to let the gas escape. I have the very minimum of gas in the suit. I dont know if this is "right" or not, but it works so far. |
