I was talking to an assistant in Ellis Brigham in Aviemore a few years ago and he mentioned that a local guide had replaced the laces on the most recent Scarpa Phantom with the Salomon Quicklace kit (I think in reality though you'd need 2 kits tied together with the knot at the bottom to allow for lace length).
I thought this was a marvelous idea to be able to adjust the tension of the laces minimising exposure to the cold. Has anybody got any experiences of doing something similar before I commit to testing this out?
