Purchase loop aliens

[sparky32]

The small ti ones have been "Out of Stock" for some time now and emails get no response.

So, is Loop Alien having trouble or going out of business? No email response seems odd. I wanted to order from him instead of the cheap, Chinese imposters.

Yeah I bought two of them. I'm going to first try it out as a complete circle and then cut out a section for easier adjustment. At a $1.99 I can't really loose.

Hey Dutch, do these have a patent? Need some ti ones.

Hey Dutch, do these have a patent? Need some ti ones.

The LoopAlien website says that there is a patent pending.

They must have problems finalizing it. I would be more than happy to buy ti ones when production is up and running. Keeping fingers crossed.

Sorry i got the idea you were looking for the steel ones from somewhere......reading and posting while eating breakfast again

The alu knock offs are fairly strong. I reckon they would just do for a tarp ridgeline, but maybe not last forever

The guy responsible for Loop Aliens is here in SC. They're available for purchase through Ripstop By The Roll:

Well I already purchased the ones from ebay, so now I just ordered one from ripstop. I'm going to see how much different they are. I also believe strongly in purchasing from the designer. I do wish they had the style with the cut out as an option.

The little UFA's (cut out ones) are great but could be miles more versatile if the cut out was towards the opposite side of the alien
