Fin Strap Thumb Loops

[NW Dive Dawg]

Trying to find these aftermarket fin strap plastic thumb loops. Makes it easier to don and doff fins with 7mm gloves. PS... I don't use dry gloves. I've searched but not even sure what to call them. Any ideas? Thanks!

Not sure how attached you are to your current straps, but the new Mares Quattro strap comes with a giant loop. These are easy to don with 5mm gloves in the sound (I haven't yet moved up to 7mm).

I switched to a simple bungee cord for fin straps several years ago. They are very easy to remove the fins with a finger without any loops.
I saw the straps with loops for sale at Underwater Sports Federal Way.

Thanks for the responses.... for me the 7mm gloves are a bit lacking in dexterity...... but they are great for harvesting pectin and rock scallops. Dry gloves would fail quickly in that scenario. Those old high density poly fin grips in my pic were awesome and much easier to "feel" the fin staps when donning fins...

The Deep6 Eddy fins come with a spring strap, and a plastic handle with a loop over the spring strap. If you unscrew the springs, the plastic handle will slide right off. I imagine that these handles will wear out and break long before the fins themselves, so they might just sell them separately. I'd recommend giving them a call to ask: +1 (404) 800-5967.

I use Hollis tabs on all my fins. I've found them to be the most robust. I do during winter wear dry gloves and the loop is a nice size.

Use Velcro tape at the end of the straps to make a ripcord.
