This thread even talks about the issue and shows @Akimbo's solution (on page 3) of cutting part of the hook off, to make them more usable.

Do you have either of these tank straps?

Just copy and paste the BB Code Snippet.
 
I found high viz green AND Neon pink by clicking your link. Thank you!
Francesea. I like Randy and Piranha dive and recommend them often but I just want to let you know that their webbing, especially the color webbing is very stiff and so can be a bit challenging to work with.
 
Some potential wing options I haven't heard too much about (all have no tank support or removable support):

Zeagle Donut
Sub-Gravity Paragon
Scubapro X-tek (unfortunately looks like a billboard)

Any thoughts?

OK, let's assume someone wants to pimp out their plate. Where would they get colored webbing? :wink:

Another source is strapworks. However you do need to select with care because some people have reported that softer webbing does not hold the hardware in position securely. However the price is cheap enough that you can experiment.

Thanks. Looks like a lot of options here.

Wow, I think my partner will love the cute webbings!

I have heard stiffer webbing is hard to thread, but then holds its place, yet softer webbing has more give, and could loosen up mid-dive as the webbing absorbs water.
If making my own, I can experiment with both, but I’d rather fight the webbing on land than underwater.
