Question Vyper Strap ?

Anyone know where you can find a replacement strap for the Vyper computer ?
I cut mine to size on my old drysuit to find it no longer fits on my new one so i need a new strap.

I've searched just about all the online shops i can find but no joy so has anyone bought one of these and if so, where from ?

Funny I did the same thing

I made exactly the same mistake as a newbie and trimmed mine to suit a 3mm wetsuit and had to get a new strap when I bought my drysuit!
I got my new strap from SDS in Shefield. Can't remember how much it cost .
Some people replace the standard strap with bungee.

Thumbs up

Don't buy a new strap. Make one with bungee instead. You will find that to be far more convenient. Infact use 2 bungee straps - if one goes the other mean that you don't lose your computer.

Just take out the computer from the boot, thread the bungee through the old strap holes and replace the computer tie or tie-wrap the ends of the bungee at the length you need - should take no longer than 5 minutes. I have mine like this and it fits whatever I wear and takes a second to put on.

Still a bit confused but may see if i can source bungee. Last time i went to B&Q they had 2 packets there of different lengths which i bought for my DSMB/Reel assembley. These were pre-joined loops.
