Title: Skinth L shield stretch?
Post by: SuzukiGS750EZ on April 23, 2019, 04:07:28 AM
Hey guys. I just got my skinth l shield today. I put in my swisstool spirit, the ratchet kit sand the extension and cork screw. The ratchet kit seems to make the top hard to button. Will it wear in with time or is there a way to stretch it a bit more? I'd hate to put it in a drawer and forget it but if I can't easily button it at work it won't work well for me. Not a complaint but more of a "help me fix it", I love it otherwise!

I dont think so
They are Cordura and they do sort if “Break in” it seems but mine pretty much have not stretched.
Sorry

It worked itself out. It's only tight after I put the ratchet kit back in. Otherwise it closes fine. Awesome product.

Glad it worked out.  Mine have some give but no stretch per se.  Its a well thought out sheath thats for sure.

I wish he would make more options for larger lights in smaller sheaths though myself.
I don't like to have to rely on whichever crazy slim aaa light that I can cram into the side pockets and wish for room for a ZL as an option at least.
This really limits the overall usefulness for those of us who need something bigger and have to pocket carry them.

But don't misunderstand I do carry 1 every day as they are!
