Sadly, yes.75x a day? I thought it was bad when I had to ride the lift 19-20x a day.

Does yours have the loop and pin system or the older plug in clip?Yes I wear them correctly and my Goode pole straps release as designed. These won't release pulling up (as they do when you push the button) with 2 of us pulling.
Goode straps have a rectangular metal piece that snaps down into the grip like the LEKI's nylon loop.Does yours have the loop and pin system or the older plug in clip?
PS Sorry did see you post re going back fir repairs.
Really? I've looked at them and never read or noticed. I returned the LEKI and was going to reorder but maybe I'll shop some more. I do really like the Goode releasable grips because you can lock the release on piste or on lifts and unlock them when you're in trees and always worked well for me since early 90's.Scott and Soloman both have releasable clips, not at the level of LEKI, but you’re not hostage either. Probably better than Goode though.

Thanks. I did find them on their sites but they don't really advertise the safety thing. I had to go looking for it. I still like the LEKI system but this may come down to price between the 4 of them. There's some ski shows coming up so hopefully I can see them all and compare.Scott:
The annoying thing is the straps can be too small with big mittens. Maybe they’ve changed it though. Personally I prefer the older non releasable straps.
Salomon’s system is the S3, which is on a lot of their poles. Don’t know how it works.
