Cam Strap Tension Pads Ripping out the eyes...

Have I just used them to the end of their life? (3 years)

Just curious, how many dives did you do on them? what brand are they? were they metal or plastic? Cheers

Cam Strap Tension pads usually wear out due to being removed or installed on the camstraps too many times. In use there just isn't much load on the slots.

Anything rubber has a finite life.

So I don't really have to worry about the little bit of walking the strap does through the eye when I cinch it, just the taking it on and off the cam band?

I guess this is just not enough of an issue that making the eyes bigger/wider is worth it? You know how the generic slip on nonslip things look with what looks like a capital "I" shape to them?

I have at least repurposed the busted ones to tension sidemount bottle straps that don't need removing much.

We have no plans to build a new injection mold.

Why yes Tobin I actually do, thank you for your question, I have bought some off you previously. I misread the OP it appears I didn't notice I was in DSS forum either, my apologies. Less haste and all that.

As far as I know only DSS offers Cam Strap Tension Pads. Not sure how you could make them out of metal or plastic. Made me think you were confusing Cam strap Tension pads with cam buckles.

Yes, you are correct, I didn't read the OP properly and thought he was talking about cam bands. Thanks for clarifying that.
