At the Yuma Prison Run, I met a vendor selling a new product called, "Anchor Downs".

They're straps that go around your pant legs to keep them from flying up while riding. It does the same thing as a boot strap, except it creates another opportunity for company image branding.

Anchor Downs are made by Iron Horse T-Shirts out of North Hills, CA. The two folks representing the business there at the vendor booth said they're already working on private-labeling the product for other companies. Renegade Classics, a biker outlet store, is one of the companies putting its logo on Anchor Downs.

Looks like another great way for Harley Davidson to display its logo.

You can buy a set of Anchor Downs for $19.95 from the manufacturer's website, or from a Renegade Classics store.

Here's a photo of the inventor of Anchor Downs, taken at the Yuma Prison Run.
