"Interesting, still need to try them on the tent" 2010-08-22
By Deb (CA)
These are a little odd. I wasn't sure how they were going to work. After a little toying around with them, I can see how they will be helpful in a rainstorm to really tighten up my rain fly on the tent. They are lightweight and easy to tuck into my tent bag.

  
"All Hung Up!" 2010-07-26
By Bigdog
Let me start out by saying that I was a guide with the Sierra Club for 5yrs., an outdoor survival instructor for 12yrs., and worked in an environmental ed. center for 6yrs. I have a lot of experience & Sierra Designs Grip Clips are the best thing to come along since toilet paper! I tested it on a 30ft. structure with 60ml/hr. gusts & everything held with no damage to the material. With this product the applications are endless. With a pocket full of clips, nylon cord, & a guide tarp you could make a variety of structures under 4lbs. I'm going to by more before they're discontinued!


"Here's the instructions on how to use." 2009-08-09
By Anita Griggs (Ventura, CA)
You have to figure out how to use this product yourself. There are no instructions and the photo is misleading. The photo is what it would look like from the inside of the tent. And, there is no loop as the picture shows. There are two pieces: a) a ring and b) a base for the ring that has a strap attached for the rope guides. Here's how to put them on your tent:

1) Place the ring piece inside the tent at the spot you want it.
2) place the oval-with-strap piece on the OUTSIDE of the tent and push the oval piece through the tent fabric into ring piece on the inside. The ring piece locks it in place.

It's hard to understand with words, you just have to fiddle with it until you get it. It is very clever. Enjoy.

  
"Neat Gizmo!" 2009-06-25
By N. Rengler (Kitsap Peninsula, WA)
Yup, these clips are worth the money. When I bought my new tent, I didn't even notice it didn't have any stake loops at the bottom, mid-points of each wall. As such, the slightest breeze would push the wall(s) in about 12"... annoying. These clips (once you figure out how they attach,ha) solve the problem. A good idea at a reasonable price.

The clips work. I cannot see any ill effect on the fabric of my Kelty tarp.
