Some say they are worth their weight in gold. I wouldn't know, but last time I broke trail on Street & Nye, I wish I'd have some, at least to try. It couldn't be worse than the feeling of having some being inserted right into my calves.
I was curious and had some material lying around (lightweight hinges and spring steel wire from the frame of an old crib mattress), so I set out to build some myself. I looked at many of the commercial ones and built mine in the most simple way that still attemps to distribute the load on the decking. 3 oz per pair.
Handles the load fine inside, can't wait to try them in the field.
