| When do you switch out your leg gear? I have run classic equine For years and love them. But I'm just curious do you switch them out for new ones every year or every two years? |

| I replace mine when the Velcro isn't sticking well anymore. Depending on how often you use them etc it's ended up being every year to 18 mo for me |

| When I get tired of a color and sell them! lol
I've got some original SMB IIs from WAY back when, like 1999 or so, that I still use in the muddy practice pen! Velcro still works and they are solid.
I've got around 9 different full (4) sets of boots, so they are rotated often enough that they stay in good shape. |
