spring straps anyone?

[coralcrazed]

If you are in need of some really cool spring straps Than I suggest you look no further... check these things out!
Tilos Spring Straps, Fins, Tilos, Tilos Spring Straps

Yup, I'm partially responsible for those T site (and proud of it!). You see, I was talking to Larry and asked him if he can get these... At the time, he was not carrying those. He got back to me and said they are on their way... and here they are. So, if you guys over there at ST are in need of an internet product dog. GRRRRR WOOF WOOF, I'm your dog

Anyway, I like these especially because they have the rubber boot on the back of the spring which extends and covers the entire spring strap which I thought was really cool and different from most other sprind straps that may catch the neoprene boot and the buckles are stainless steel...

OK, I admit I've been looking at scuba stuff for way too long now.


THREAD FOLLOW UP:
***WARNING*** through this thread I have learned that there is a potentially seriouse flaw with these fin straps. I have been alerted to the fact that they can fall off in mid dive as the stainless buckles do not lock onto the peg.

I don't know if anyone is following this thread but I thought that I should mention that I got these sweeeeet straps and they are awsome. fitted them onto my mares quatros and they are super comfortable and very functional. They will make getting the fins on and off super easy.

I purchased these as th straps that come with the Mares would open in mid dive and as a result one of my fins came off once... that was not a good thing to have happen. ever try finning with only one fin? not good. I will never have to worry about it ever again. this product is as good as it gets.

Nice... if I hadn't found it cheap and easy to make my own, I'd get a pair!

I have the same on my Blade II. I have a cable tie to hold the steel section tight against the fins. It stops them from coming loose.

I'm hoping you can explain... do you use the cable ties around the peg or do you wrap it around the entire fin. I would love to see a picture if you would be so kind... or a real good exlanation. thanks mate!

I fairly certain that what you are able to make cost you th same or more NO? and I would think that you could not duplicate the ruber part ofthe straps. I make my own stuff too but this nah!
