I would say they were great initially and everyone loved their performance but durability is questionable. My daughter has used them maybe 12 times since November and we had a velcro and nylon wear. I think I managed to fix it but it's a shame they've already snapped. The price is good and they work well. I will probably buy them again but I think before she uses them I will use my sewing machine to reinforce the stitching around them.
