These frayed over the course of 50+ BC use in VT. The little fibers unraveled & screwed with my pants hem, and would tear your fingers if I fiddled bare-handed. SOLUTION: use 5mm p-cord for climbing; just tie yourself a big loop, run it trhough your binding hole with an overhand bight knot and then throw the loop onto/around your toe buckle. Never had any issues with p-cord cutting my pants or fingers, nor with its tensile strength or durability.

Agreed. Leashes are the biggest waste of money. P cord with a knot slipped under your buckle works great and is easy to put on without taking your gloves off.
