I have quite a few Dive Rite products that I happily use but recently I purchased two of your 2" crotch straps, and can't say I was too happy with them. I wanted to offer some feedback that would maybe help improve them because I like your webbing, and probably will use it in future too.
It's a PITA to thread a buckle through the crotch strap loop. The loop is too tight. You should make it a little bigger. I use DR buckle so I am compatible - it just is a struggle every time compared to other crotch straps, especially with drygloves on.
The strap is too short. I am not a giant but I am not sure how taller divers figure this out. There is noway I can get the butt d-ring located correctly. If I get enough length on the strap, the ring will vanish under my tank. I don't use monster tanks, just HP100s/LP85s/AL80s. To get the strap long enough (and I like it tight!), I have to thread the d-ring so high it's unusable. I can't wear a reel under my tank!
I am a bit bummed because I bought two of these on a sale from out-of-town shop so I have no recourse. I have not cut them in any way. Any suggestions how I could rig them?
