Which type of stilts best serves You? I compile useful information to help you to make a better decision.
POWERISER - AIR-TREKKERS - POWER STRIDERS - FLYING JUMPERS - CHEAP KNOCKOFFS
This brand definitely has a different feel than all the others. I will say that most people say these are the easiest to run in at high speeds. A few people have said they have jumped 8 feet in the air with these even without charging the frame.
This is one of the brands that lets you replace the rubber feet without replacing the whole foot pad.
Their "flatter" springs are different too. They have a polymer type which blends carbon fiber, fiber glass and mixes it with graphite to make a spring that gives way more lift than some of the other springs. This is what I mean by "free bounces". Their ultra light springs seem to give a forceful uplift with smooth g forces, much more constant than others I have tested. At first when I saw their springs I told myself I was going to have to test them for more than just the amount of time I tested the others because it just seemed too light weight.
They have a really easy to use self adjusting knee bar and calf cuff. You don't have to use a wrench with theirs but just lock it by twisting it. You have to see it to see how easy it is. It's comfortable too. (and washable) for those germaphobes. Soon, I think everying is going to have their version of the thumb screw that they have.
I will say that it is one of the quieter ones I have tested. It makes none of the noises that people complain about. These actually are the quietest ones I have found.
For those wanting something light weight, these are approximately 8 pounds. Remember that one that is 10 pounds (just 2 pounds more at 4 g forces really means 8 more pounds that the springs have to lift. When you want to get an extra inch or two when doing stunts that require you to jump over a car for example, every weight reduction counts. If you are going to jog for the entire afternoon you will find that just 2 pounds does make a huge difference in your ability to run long distances and makes you exert less energy.
...Because I had to buy 3 pairs until one fit.
