Hi @buddhasummer

Besides the swivel, I see that they are also adjustable. I assume you already have them adjusted for the shorter length.

I have always dived XTs in the large size, both the older buckles and the stainless steel buckles. I wonder if the new design would also be too long for me? I don't remember how long the new design has been out, I don't remember reading anything about this problem previously, have you?

I only bought another pair as they were pre 2020 so still had old style buckle albeit skeletonised. They were heavily discounted, I don't like the look of the new plastic swivel.
 
The old straps can be fitted to "new" version. They made them less robust IMO, no idea why? It's not like the old version straps were uncomfortable, save the rock hard plastic pull tabs, which I swap out to the Hollis ones.
 
Can't be "fixed", but I'll take them apart tonight and measure spring lengths. Appreciate the follow up/help. Thank you.

I'm bald too, maybe it's a contagious thing. Hoping for a vaccine if so.
 
If so I'll swap you a ship a helicopter and a chamber for the formula

and also some original and authentic DR finstraps in your size as well

I'm sure the ship will have a tender and also another tender inside that

and a submarine
 
Hi Buddha,

Do you think it can be swapped the spring strap with old rubber strap from Apollo Prestige? My Apollo fins just broke up few days ago so I am thinking about getting new fins (potentially the XT fins). I found rubber strap is more comfortable to me.
