Title: To Yak or not to Yak
Post by: Karen on April 26, 2010, 22:25:24: Has anyone ever bought a Yak cag, if yes, are they any good? There seems to be some going cheap in the tinternet, and as my neck seal slowly and painfully cracks its way to the latex yard of death, and what with the patched up elbow and all, I might think about giving ot the old heave ho and trying something new.

Or you could just go the whole nine yards and get a sweet prophecy cag for Ã¢â€šÂ¬375, what a deal.

on a more serious note a friend of mine had one and it was AWEFUL!!! dont think it lasted a year, it delaminated so they gave him a new one which also delaminated.

iv had my palm cag for maybe 4 or 5 years and its good my kokatat one is 2 years old and perfect, they also both look nicer
