Webbing Slots for Wings?

[kablooey]

Does anyone know where to get these webbing slots commonly seen on wings? Or even what they're called?

I'd call it a grommet, but I couldn't tell you where to buy one that isn't already bonded to a wing.

Try Tobin at Deep Sea Supply, he'll be able to point you in the right direction.

Tobin might point you to grommets but they will be attached to one of his wings

The grommet is $399. It includes a wing at no charge. Same kind of deal as buying a goat and getting a free drysuit.

Or maybe you will get an actual recommendation. I would do a search for grommet and see what you come up with.

We mold our own, but none like that. Sorry.

Hogs zip out! Too bad all aren't designed that way!

The band "grommets" zip out?? I will have to go look at one of the three HOG wings I have on my rack.. But I don't think so...

We decided to make our own in part because they proved to be quite difficult to source, and in part because I wanted some other than what was being used.

If I was trying again today I check with Strapworks and Sailrite and anybody else that distributes webbing, and plastic buckles etc. These guys may not sell them, but they may know who does.

The real issue is even if you find a vendor the minimum order could be a stopper.

If it was me, and I had very few to do I'd consider buying a real hot knife, (which are endlessly useful for working with nylons and other synthetics) and just heat seal the edges of the slots to reduce fraying.

Good luck.

@cool_hardware52 are you willing to sell a pair of your Custom grommets? I would like to alter an existing wing.
