Hi, my wife and I both managed to get hold of the limited production Zuma Pro each, and although we like them, we are wondering about how long they will last.
Our old BCds are 7 years old and despite heavy use, still are in excellent condition.
The concern we have with the Zuma, as despite this version being sold as more hard wearing than the normal Zuma, the webbing for the arms is so thin, and the plastic buckles are so small, we cannot see them lasting all that long.
Has anyone tried to replace the webbing and/or put in a pinch clip to make taking it off any easier?
Both of us have had the webbing twist while trying to get them off in the water before getting into the zodiac, meaning it has been very difficult to get our arms out. This is not a good situation to be in - struggling at the surface, trying to get the kit off while Oceanic White tips are around is a nerve wracking situation!
