Do these wire pant hangers crease your pants or leave visible marks? Has anyone used foam to protect this from happening? How did you mount the foam?

I used quilt batting. I bought a cheap roll of quilt batting, cut it to the width of the hangers and cut an inch or two long to roll around the hanger. I rolled a bit around the hanger and stapled the batting to secure it. I've been using mine like this for years - four states and 2 countries.

I have used two of them for about one year. I initially worried about that, but so far the wires have not left marks or creases. I use the rack for jeans, wool and linen dress pants, cotton and synthetic casual pants. I don't know if my experience is typical.

I only use plastic hangers and they did not scratch the finish at all it looks the same as when I purchased some years ago

Just checked- Yes it does because they are not rounded. I still have my pants hanging on them though. I also still love the hangers!

No, I don't believe they would be any help at all. I wash my pants then put them for a few minutes in the dryer and then put the pants stretchers through the pant legs immediately. If I forget to take them out of the dryer and allow too much drying that allows wrinkles to set in I do not find them nearly as effective in keeping a neat look. If done right I think they work very well and I rarely have had to even touch them up. Hope this helps.

The material is a very heavy nylon outer shell, and I would say that they would protect against any "road rash". I've found the pants to be very dry during my winter rides, and very warm. I have only ridden in 2 heavy rains since owning them, and both times, I only had some small wet areas around my knees...... Other than that, for the price, these have been excellent pants, and a great addition to my gear. I am anxious to see during the summer months how they work with the zip out lining removed, and if they will be to hot to use??

I have the duty pants and they aren't that low. I can't stand low riding pants, but these seem to keep me covered whenever I squat or bend over. I wear mine about an inch below my belly button (im 6 foot and have a pretty long torso though). Hope this helps!

If you're using them longterm or you don't mind making holes in your wall, I would recommend using nails or pins. Double-sided tape or that sticky tack stuff will work but you'll probably have to attach something more substantial to the foam, since the foam surface isn't ideal for sticking to things.

I had the same question... it seems like it's a protective cover that should be removed or something, and rather than forming to the body at all, it makes them just slip around. Does anyone have suggestions on HOW to use these? They seem to move around a lot. Do you have to use tape or glue?

I am not sure. I have never done this. I have never had any lint problem with them from any type clothing, but have never gotten them wet. I have three full closets of them (5 boxes) and love the way they look. They are sturdy enough for blazers. Sorry to not be more help.

I'm not sure why you'd want to mold these to shape with heat, I certainly wouldn't try. You see all those lines in the picture? Those are grooves in the knee pad that allow it to flex pretty readily. They're a type of foam rubber, so I wouldn't expose them to heat, so I have no idea how much heat they'd tolerate. And, finally, no; they're not FR. I'm not an expert in FR clothing, but isn't the FR-ness of protective clothing based on the external layer? Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't you basically wear napalm skivvies and not affect the Kcal rating of your FR clothing?

No. I usually hold out the pant leg at an angle from the hanger and run the steamer over it more than once. If you are looking for something like you get from the dry cleaners, I think an iron is the best way.

I used Saran wrap under my waist belt in the house. It works to well you'll be sweating a lot, you problem don't want to have sweat spots all over you shirt and pants.

They seem to be keeping the color fine. I have a few pair of the navy ones I've had for a few years and they've done fine. They aren't as good as say the Arc'teryx or Massif pants I have... But they're not $300... For the price point they're at, I haven't found anything as good or better.

Pants don't sag and they don't slide off. However, you have to be careful removing pants -- if you jerk or drag them downward the hanger WILL break. Lift them off and you're fine.

I like these hangers because the ends slope downward, so they don't leave 'points' on the shoulders of your shirt, as it dries. I use them for more delicate things, too. I would say give them a go, if they don't work for your shirts, they are still quite nice for other garments. I thought I'd try them, and glad I did, they fold up and pack in a suitcase quite nicely, too. Hope this helps.

The hangers them self are not invisible. But looking at the plates on my wall, you can not see how they are hung up... So the hanger is hidden by the plate.

Jim I have removed mine from different guns a couple of times and reapplied. It comes with multiple foam adhesive strips. Work it off carefully and use some Goo be gone to remove the residue from the adhesive. I have had no issues with leaving marks on my gun, taken off a Shiny stainless receiver and a flat black one.
