SPG Gauge Protector

[keegthomas]

All,

What do you use to protect your SPG's when traveling? I have a HOG pressure gauge, and I have searched the internet high and low trying to find a protect cover for it, to protect it when I'm traveling. Unfortunately I did not come up with much, hence my post. I recently bought an Akona Pro bag for my regulators, and planning on keeping the gauge in there, as long as I can keep it adequately protected. Something that is padded and just slides over the gauge would be ideal.

Surely there must be some people here who use some sort of a protective/padded case to protect their gauges?

Appreciated the help!

A couple old socks work well. And they're cheap. If you don't wash em they'll act as a theft deterrent as well!

Easy and cheap, that works for me! Thanks for the prompt response Jim!

I do a fair amount of travel diving and it's never occurred to me to protect gauge. They are pretty robust assuming brass and glass, certainly more robust than regs.

inside of a sock if they're in a reg bag, but only when travelling with a singles set. With a doubles set it doesn't move so I'm not worried about it.

Thinking about it, I'd be more worried about the SPG doing damage to the regs, that being so I could see the reason for padding the SPG. My SPG is pretty heavy, my regs are plastic. Am I missing something? I don't see why an SPG might need protection over a second stage? Genuine question. Cheers.

can get scratched by the bolt snaps. That said, if you have plastic gauges there is a crush concern, but it's mainly getting scratched

Nothing, I toss everything into a padded reg bag and call it good. As said, one could use a beer kookie (coozy).
