Yes the nylon ones have a substantial volume, don't they...

As for the fastex, I am not surprised. Having used fastex gear extensively in mountaineering, I don't have a problem with it.

I had one shatter once- which caused me to have a really uncomfortable exit. I haven't used them since.

Hi Jon,

As you know I removed every single peice of velcro on the CLs as I want to streamline everything as much as possible.
I also removed the fastex buckles (one of them broke) and replaced them with SS dog clips.

Cheers

Yes Cedric we know, but I wanted the opinion of some normal people - and guess what there arnt many round here

I wonder if any of the home builders want some velcro? Cathy and I will soon have um... 36 spare pieces between us, and that is not including the bit we actually bought a couple of months back

Did you see what Andy made us before we left Thialand?

He said that Darth Vader wears a similar one.

edit - of course the picture was taken with black light...

to the Meg only 5 dives since my course in March I was advised to leave them until I was more settled with the unit and had played around with my configuration. So I have just rolled up those that I don't use at the moment.

Not really much help I know but it is what I am currently doing with my velcro!
