I saw them at an expo in Germany. Nice idea, but... how much!? :-O

Was given a similar thing at a race in Spain, but they were press-studs clipdorfix.com

Strangely, I've never considered it to be a concern.

If they were to suggest that my performance would be improved due to improved aerodynamics, however...

I really struggle due to the amount of boobage making pinning on numbers blooming difficult!
I've got a belt thing but it's not much better

I always think that faffing about with safety pins (or lack of them) is part of the build-up to a race

Safety pins are a bightmare. Why don't they make vests with a plastic wallet on the front so you just slide the number in?

You would think that with all the modern technology and materials that something would be developed to replace the good old safety pin - not sure what though - otherwise I'd be on dragon's den!
