I am a big fan of Whetman gear as it is all very well thought out and innovative however there is in my opinion a shortcoming with this item. The velcro fixing is only suitable for a thinner paddle shaft. My paddle is a standard Werner shaft and the wrap has insufficient overlap to provide convincing security of attachment - the fluffy part of the tab needs to an inch longer to provide a secure attachment that would provide me with sufficient 'reassurance'. Hopefully the fluffy part of the tab will be manufactured in a longer length to overcome this issue.
