Easylink - do you wear it retracted or extended?

This is super handy. So where I am with center+open is +5, which is a bit loose and I like it. I've tried outside and closed and the +3.5 is a little tighter than I'd like. My next option would be extra link+inside+closed at +6.5. That might work, but I could guarantee that opening the easylink at +11.5 would make it way too loose to be functional. So in the end, I think I'll just leave it open for now.

That's what I would have thought.

And it's what I do.

I only extend mine when my wrist swells enough to warrant releasing the link.

I set mine for "in" so I can let it out as needed. Does not make sense to me otherwise.

Retracted...so I can extend it when I need to.

Mine is set to extended always, and on the last micro adjustment hole. This is basically the hottest time of the year. If it gets much colder, then I will move to the middle adjustment hole. I'm just OCD about the retracted position because it scratches up the PCL.

For my 6.75" wrist, the 5mm adjustment of the Easy-Link is too much. But yeah, when I discovered that there are 3 detents (positions) for the Easy Link spring bar I was able to really get close to the perfect fit in the closed position, but when it gets hot and I open it up it almost always gets too loose.
