YUP, I went from years of Double caliper to the Scott Lil Goose and the when I bought the Guardian I tried the Silverhorn. It's so easy to hook on the loop in the worst of light conditions or whatever. Just start below the loop, slide up the string feeling with you thumb and when you hit the loop it's on. I was worried at first about maybe having it come off but found that not to be a problem. If he likes the glove types.... he's probably not ready for a change to something like the Silverhorn. Me, I love it and it's so smooth and perfect.
