View Full Version : What's wrong with velcro?
evad October 30th, 2003, 03:22 PM Is there any reason not to use a little velcro to secure corrigated hose to shoulder strap? Its the last floppy thing.............well, never mind. CincyBengalsFan October 30th, 2003, 03:29 PM I've had velcro last 7 or 8 yrs. on BC's then I just sew a new piece on when it needs to be replaced It's 1 dollar a foot at the fabric store. It works well in Kentucky...But I'm sure velcro will get Blasted to pieces in this place. docmartin October 30th, 2003, 03:35 PM alternatively you could use a loop of bungee cord. don't lose sleep over it. the scuba industry usually tests novelties in kentucky and apparently most divers survived the introduction of velcro. :D VTernovski October 30th, 2003, 03:36 PM Halcyon DIR pockets are eqipped with Velcro covers, so, I guess it's ok... beat the zippers anyday!

ScubaRon October 30th, 2003, 03:50 PM Velcro can loose a lot of it's "hook-and-loop" strength when exposed to sand and similar substances. For that reason you should be careful in using Velcro in critical applications and sandy environments. For keeping a corrugated hose in position it is very well suited and I have been doing that for 13 years without a problem. :snorkel:ScubaRon CincyBengalsFan October 30th, 2003, 04:02 PM docmartin once bubbled... alternatively you could use a loop of bungee cord. don't lose sleep over it. the scuba industry usually tests novelties in kentucky and apparently most divers survived the introduction of velcro. :D SmartA$$....:D evad October 30th, 2003, 04:44 PM Dang. I thought i thunk it up. Does the bungie function as a retractor, or is it like stuffing the hose under your strap? Thanks. Dave
