I replaced my RK3 springs with Diverite, but used the Hollis rubber bits. I used the Hollis springs on the dive rites as they were an inch longer and made it a lot easier to put on. The Hollis xxl springs were about 2 inch’s longer then the Apeks super springs, made my size 12 dry suit boots too loose.

Bungees are infinitely re-sizeable. You just shorten or lengthen the bungee cords until it’s perfectly snug but not too tight. Just avoid the imitation bungees sold by manufacturers like Mares.
