I have a Axiom that I bought in 2013, and it rides up on me when finning horizontally. I have to pull it down a lot to keep the 1st stage off my head. Is there a way to add a crotch strap to this BC?

Thundercleese,
At this time we do not offer a crotch strap on the Axiom.

Hi Thundercleese
I followed the very same path a few weeks ago.
Ended up dismantling an old weight belt of mine for which I had no use. I put the band through both cam band slots of the plastic backplate, under the back padding, added two stoppers, and voila!
Perfect crotch strap for this useful BC. It makes a bit of a V on the butt and the front loop on the quick release buckle is sub-optimal, however no cutting, sewing or gluing is needed. It looks really strong and durable.
I had the opportunity to try it on 6 dives this weekend, my trim has never been better
Some fellows on the boat were really intrigued as to why I would need a crotch strap.
