Soft webbing

[detroit diver]

It will show up on the belt...so its either the shoulder straps or the belt.

That's why you wear a belt knife and a buckle for a cannister light!!

Black waterproof marker helps too...!

I'm not DIR, but I dove soft webbing and all I can say is, don't do it, you'll be sorry.

Huh?

Huh?

This was not H webbing, but other. I found it to be very flimsy and twisted around on my when kitting up. In general, it was more of a pain than it was worth.

Besides the potential for wear on a suit, I don't understand the need for soft webbing anyway. You can't feel the webbing when diving, just getting in and out of the water. When getting out, the stiff stuff is pretty soft after the dive.

The H webbing is not flimsy like seat belt webbing is. It's just oh so slightly softer than regular weight belt webbing and feels a little higher quality. It's still plenty stiff.

I didn't like it because I thought it was to flimsy...I replaced it yesterday actually. YMMV

DiveRiteExpress/FillExpress has webbing that's about the same stiffness as the blue "H" webbing. You can get either webbing or a harness kit. I have it on my doubles setup. So far it works fine.

Jonnythan,
I also liked the really soft crotch strap webbing. It's still available far as I know - it comes with the harness kits from Halcyon, and (for some ridiculous price, like $34.++) you can order only the crotch strap assembly itself from Halcyon, same material. (Reason I know this? A young lady I was assisting with her rig ordered an OMS bp/wing. Hated her crotch strap. Decided she wanted mine. I had to order a replacement. Go figure.)
FWIW.

Jeeze, I thought you DIR-types had balls of steel, or stainless steel, or at least delrin. Sounds like you guys need some PADI-ng in the crotch strap.

LOL!
