I like the 1", but I dive dry. What with having a weezle extreme on under a Bare ATR-HD trilam suit, I can't imagine it feeling like arse floss unless maybe I was being hoisted out of the water by it.

Divin'Hoosier:Thanks sooooo much for that image! :11:
karstdvr:Since this isn't a load bearing area (thank goodness) 1" webbing does an adequate job for its intent.
hoosier:. It doesn't matter that much unless you are riding the high tech scooter.
karstdvr:When I used to have 1" webbing I used to use a very strong Tekna,and it wasn't a problem.
This has been the opposite of my experience! Ouch! Especially when pulling the trigger.karstdvr:When I used to have 1" webbing I used to use a very strong Tekna,and it wasn't a problem.
shark.byte.usa:I'm changing out my rig now to a bp/w + long hose. I don't know if I'm going totally Hog or what. Basically I'm getting rid of all the bulk and stuff that I dont' need and hate, distributing my weight more and moving to a long hose/bungeed octo cause it just makes a lot of sense to me. Won't go tech for a year or so.
My question is what's up with the crotch strap width? I've seen references where Hog crotch strap is 1" and DIR is 2". Why the difference? Does it really matter? I understand having gear in the same place, config, etc. as your buddies, but crotch strap width? That sounds to me like taking it 1" too far

eandiver:Yes......it was a bit uncomfortable on the twig and berries especialy with a thinner wetsuit. 2" is better for me.
