lAl7176,

Am I correct in guessing that this is made out of elastic & velcro??

Thanks,

The strap is all elastic and no velcro.I am gonna have my wife sew some velcro on to hold down the loose end of the strap.

Can you put it on your wrist with it closed?

It will fit over my dry glove rings closed but wil have to adjusted tighter once past the rings.I dont think it will stretch enough if it is adjusted to my wrist and then try to put it on over the rings.I havent tried it yet but doesnt look like it will.It is elastic material but doesnt seem to stretch as much as a bungee cord does.It has a simple buckle making adjustment easy.

About the Waterborne strap, I know that Uncle Pug uses one on his Stinger and he has a drysuit with dryglove rings to boot, so yeah, it's definitely long enough.

Just stumbled upon this... yes I do use a Waterborne strap with drysuit... however I used the hardware from a Waterborne strap and put it on a longer piece of material that I cut off from a tiedown strap. The standard WB strap will NOT work with a drysuit unless you have little bitty arms.

BTW here is a picture of the bungee strap on my Uwatec bottom timer. I have it long enough that it is easy to get off and on my wrist over the dryglove rings... then I pull the loop up and place it over the bezel to tighten things up.

Thanks for correcting the record, UP. I hope I didn't lead anyone astray.

Here is my solution to the to a problem that might not even exist but better safe than sorry. This is to prevent the bugee from dislodging the retainer pins. It is a 1in peice of teflon tubing.
