Looking cam strap that works well with weight pouches

[scubanerdhi]

I use 2 Xsscuba weight pouches on my top cam strap. The problem is that most of them have the velcro size adjustment that tends to interfere with one of the pouches. I had a pair of old Apex straps that had a removable piece at each end that made it perfect. Unfortunately, this is no longer available and I need to replace one. Any suggestions?

Remove the velcro. Add a short length of mountain bike inner tube to tuck your excess strap.

Found a replacement for the broken part at divegearexpress. Searching under griplock tank band found the same product from Aqualung.

Remove the velcro. Add a short length of mountain bike inner tube to tuck your excess strap.

Or remove the Velcro and then re-adhere it using E6000 after shortening the strap. Like the OP, I am using two XS weight pockets on my upper cam strap and found either method works. For tropical diving I typically have two pounds in each cam band pocket and two pounds each in my QR pockets on my waist using a 3mm shorty suit. If I go rash guard and swimsuit then one pound weights are nice but not always available.

What's with the weight pockets on cam bands you've already got a tank there

Hey man get bold come in from the cold no whispering in messages
publish your issue, not you alone shall be, we want everybody to see

So yes you grab yourself some purchases you know for levering from

and so the band goes from under to up through there

then it goes down and around, and out and back up and with a firm flick over the buckle goes

but poking the stubs through the pushbike tube slices is where it all becomes messy

going in a different direction, XS Scuba makes weight pouches with a Velcro face.....
