I had a set of these installed on my Aire Force Kayak and a set of the Aire Brand Thigh straps on my Aire Lynx 1 kayak. I found these to be far more functional than the aire brand as they are much, much easier to adjust on the fly. I was constantly struggling with the Aire brand so I replaced them with the NRS brand of thigh strap and would highly recommend these for all IK craft.

Getting better not quite right
I have the origanl straps which NRS made with palstic buckles which I wanted to replace with the newer one that have metal. The bottom metal buckle protrudes beyond the paddling making it very uncomfortable...Read complete review
I have the origanl straps which NRS made with palstic buckles which I wanted to replace with the newer one that have metal. The bottom metal buckle protrudes beyond the paddling making it very uncomfortable. The padding needs to be lengthend to remedy this situation or add clear/blue buckle covers to soften thte rub. Maybe th enext generation will be better.

Comments about NRS Inflatable Kayak Thigh Straps:
Worked well on last kayak but I need to adjust for my new aire strike so they don't slip off. Think I need to lengthen by selecting different loop or glue on a d-ring

Q:
Can these straps be attached to the loops in an Aire Tributary Solo, or do you have to mount D rings?Asked on 9/11/2012 by Ken from Colorado13 answers

A:
I have a Tomcat & attach them to the loops. A friend of mine has a strike & does the same. Have been paddling with them for a couple of years and have had no problems.Answered on 9/11/2012 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
They will mount directly to the straps in the floor of the Tomcat, or any other Aire IK for that matter. Thigh straps are helpful but good foot pegs (or a foam foot block) make them 100% more effective.Answered on 9/11/2012 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
I have a strike 1 and did just that. I like them much better than the
stock AIRE straps! Super quick to install and adjust :)

I just ran them straight though the loops of my tomcat. Simple and reliable!Answered on 9/11/2012 by Anonymous

They can be attached to the loops.Answered on 9/11/2012 by Clyde from NRSVERIFIED BUYER
A:
i believe they could be attached to a tirutary without the D rings but the D
rings might allow better placement.Answered on 9/11/2012 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
Yes, but I recommend using carabiners to save on the wear and tear of your loops/straps. Actually, I put carabiners on all my loops. Much easier to lace webbing, hook other carabiners, etc... And, you will prolong the life of your loops.VERIFIED BUYER
A:
No need for D rings on my Tributary 2 person kayak.They attach to the existing loops.

A:
Loops through the floor holes works fine. the total strap length is a little short, so you have to choose the right holes...but if you do, D-rings not required...Answered on 9/11/2012 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
I was able to use the existing D rings that the Aire seat attaches too for the thigh straps.

A:
The thigh straps are connected to the floor seat loops on the Tributary inflatable kayaks. Mounting D-rings onto the IK would be an option, but is not necessary with the existing floor loops.
The thigh straps give the boater a lot of stability & control in the IK, a must have for any IK!

A:
If you have the Strike model the answer is yes, they will work without D rings. They will attach to the cargo tie down loops. I don't have a Tomcat single but my tandem and my LV both have cargo loops that thigh straps are attached to.
If you have cargo loops you are good to go.
