Managed to lose my crotch strap at the weekend - can anyone recommend anywhere that does them at a decent price?

Cheers,
Simon

If you are near Reading i can give you some spare 2inch webbing then all you need is 2 d-rings and 2 non toothed ss wieght retainers.

ReikiMaster - thanks for the offer, but I was looking for something a bit thinner. The crotch strap I lost was probably about 3/4 inch or so.

Our own Mr Woz can help you out

Have a look at www.kitfondle.co.uk
Had a look on kitfondle but couldn't see any on there, of course I could be (as my much better half would say) 'having a man look', so any advice as to which page would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Simon

OK, I'm going to bite.

How does one lose a crotch strap?
Good question :)

At the start of the dive on Saturday afternoon, Gizmo pointed out that it was no longer attached to the backplate. But given I was just about to roll over the side, I decided I'd be ok anyway since I tend to have it fairly loose (which of course means that the straps are too tight over the arms, something else I need to sort).

Getting back into the RIB, it must have fallen off the waist-strap when I undid the buckle :(

Cheers,
Simon

Thanks for that - yup seen the bits on there now. Hadn't even considered making my own, but suppose it shouldn't be that difficult.
Pls take extra care of your crotch, lest you lose that too!

It's not that I really care (obviously as a fellow human being I have some compassion for the misfortune of others) particularly, it's just that I don't want to find a loose one floating past me during a dive. :)

Thanks all, and especially Gizmo!!
