Dave Grimnes – Tried these and magnets. I personally found these clips
easier, cheaper and much better but down to personal preference.

I went onto Amazon to buy some magnets (after safety pins ruining
too many tops) and your product came up, realised I couldn’t have
magnets as they could interfere with the chip on the bib so googled your
company, found the website and ordered from there.

Hello! I found you on the internet looking for race bib magnets initially,
then I saw pinless fasteners and your site. I really liked everything about
them. No pins, and honestly my wife has magnets and they are a pain to
use, she is jealous.
Steve

I took them to a group run this past weekend to get some thoughts
on it and test with bibs.  They were well received.
One runner owned a similar magnet system and liked yours much
better since the strength of the magnets makes the devices difficult to handle and store.

And as added feedback for you… at the same time I bought the
clips, I also bought a set of magnets. I tried the magnets during a short
3km race, then I tried the clips during a half marathon.
For the second half marathon two weeks later I had no doubts:
CLIPS! The magnets may look fancier, but the clips are much more reliable.
And the fact that you can put them on the shirt before wearing
it is a mega plus in my opinion.

They are always beautiful and special, they also keep me calm
because I know that gps is not going to get harmed by magnets, while
my t-shirts are all in good condition without any holes.
Once again congratulations for your product.

I searched google for a solution, your product and the magnetic one
showed up. I’ve tried the magnetic versions and found that they did
notwork with the material of cycling jerseys and worse the punishment
that Cyclocross can deal out (mud, rain, snow and worse). I purchased a
single set for £10.99 on Amazon (kind of expensive for something that eventually will get lost..lol). Then I found your site and ordered 5 sets…
no more magnets. thank you for your excellent product and service.

Hi Mike,
Thank you, looking forward to giving them a go and getting rid of the pins.
I found them through Google when trying to find an alternative to
pins. I originally bought Race magnets but they interfered with
my electronic tracker on the back of the bib, and they were very
expensiveto buy…
I then found Event Clips – I watched a couple of review videos on
youtube before purchasing.
Jason

Used them twice now Great North and Cardiff Half. Great item and tops are fine after wards defo recommend and I used magnets and pins and
these are easier to fit and better.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for letting me know that my clips are on their way. I found your site
through a google search. I’d heard from a friend that you could get clips/
magnets for numbers so thought I’d try them. A little light reading
suggested that the clips were a better option than the magnets so thought
I’d give them a go. If I’d had time I could have had my club emblem put
on them but I guess that’s for another day!
Thank you for your superb customer service.
Caroline

Hi Mike
I have used them before and was very impressed. I have tried the
magnets and found they had a tendency to move around, they are also
quite thick and chunky compared with yours
Kind Regards
Ann Robinson

Hi Mike,
I heard about EventClips from a member of my running club. I was looking
for magnetic bib numbers and asked advice when I saw he had
EventClips… he said the magnetic ones weren’t much good.
Looking forward to receiving them!
Janet

Hi Mike,
I’m a runner and cyclist alright.
I love trail running also, so I’m interested to see how they manage with the
lots of rough terrain I’ll be running in.
I got magnetic clips earlier this year, because I didn’t want to damage my
clothing with needles, but they’re not the most secure and lost some
during a 10k.
I came across an ad for your product on Facebook, I said I’d give
them a try.
Your clips are better in every way and being recycled is s big plus.
Regards, Fergus

As the 1st comment says, it all comes down to personal preference,
I’m just trying to put across some feedback and facts…have a great
Run or Cycle.

FAQ

Will they come off during my event?
No, not once they have Snap-Locked

Do they go through the fabric?
NO that’s the beauty of the unique technology.

Do they Rub?
No the backs are less than 2mm thick and bevelled.

Do they mark the fabric?
At worst you might get a dimple which will stretch and wash out easily.

Do you have to have a hole in your number?
YES, you only need a 3mm slit which can be created with a pen nib or any other pointed object, some people use hole punches readily available.

Where are they made?
Made in the UK with recycled plastic

How easy are they to remove?
Very easy

How do they compare with Magnets?
Far better, magnets can come off, are a lot thicker so can rub, mostly are sold with a lot of plastic packaging and are imported from China.

Will they work on Skinsuits and Eyelets?
YES see Cycle page.

Will this stop me stabbing my friend on a chilly Sunday morning with a safety pin trying to help them put their number on?
YES.
