BP - Which crotch strap is more comfortable?

[Nemrod]

I have a one inch Diverite premade crotch strap on my Freedom Plate and I have the two inch resin impregnated webbing on my Hammerhead and Oxycheq plates. I never notice them. Usually the wetsuit insulates you. The one inch soft webbing I have on the Freedom Plate is comfortable with just a swimsuit. If the strap is that tight you need to loosen it up some. I have noticed that two inch hard resin impregnated webbing will saw and chafe the legs etc if just in a swimsuit, the one inch does not. In a wetsuit it just does not seem to matter either way.

I've dove with both saddle and 2" crotch straps in the past and must say, the latter is more comfortable. As danktex mentioned, the latter should not be tight where you can feel it, well, on your crotch.

i made a DIY one out of 2" webbing.... not too tight... gonna try it out during my next trip....

I've used both...I prefer the one-inch Dive Rite version. I use with a 3/2 and a 5/4 wetsuit.

Cheers.

I got one-inch Dive Rite strap and have no issues when diving dry.I did not try this on the wetsuit yet.

Whatever soft two-inch webbing DSS uses works quite well, indeed.

I would suggest the softer type nylon webbing. The standard, stiff 2" harness nylon could cause the types of issues you want to avoid. The crotch strap is supposed to provide added stability, not lift and separation so to speak.

Gee,
I'm just glad to know that I'm not the only one diving with a crotch strap

Thanks for your inputs..

I haven't tried 1 inch one.

It looks very narrow, so I was afraid of getting it stuck in a hip village.
