hey marauder31, thanks for the pm reply as well as this post...it certainly helps!!
i still have a few questions/concerns though
1 - I too am kinda skeptical about burning holes through my Mission Elites Especially since theyre brand new and i will also use them for ice! Do you think there will be any noticeable negative effects on the pads when i do not have the plates on? And does ths soldering iron burn through cleanly, or does it leave burn marks? Will i have to worry about the holes opening up and the material ripping?
2 - Since the Elites have over-sized calf wings, do you think it will be necessary to cover the whole wing with plastic? In the pics, the whole Smith calf-wing isn't covered, but then again its probably flexible and conforms to your calf, so it doesnt touch the ground
The calf wings on the Missions are pretty stiff so i might have to cover the whole wing
