Strap advice for Artego diver

Post by ItsAliveJim »

Hey folks,

just after a little bit of advice on a diver strap. The bracelet on my Blue Beast – Artego 300m Diver – weighs about the same as a pregnant sow so I'm thinking it needs something lighter, especially with all the warm weather that's just around the corner :lol:

Anyway, I've found these two:

A nylon Ballistic Waterproof Strap with Blue Stitch

Or a plain black Bonetto rubber

To go on this

What do people think? Or does anyone have any other ideas?

Cheers in advance :thumbup:

The Maratac strap is very comfortable and you could always get one with the black stitching. And even if you don't like the blue there are plenty of people that would buy it as it goes so well with a number of CWL divers. And even the C8 Black Mk I. Search for Downer's pics to see.
