On the scrounge for a bit of skinny bungee

**jb2cool** · April 11th, 2006, 07:24 PM

I need to make myself a little loop that sits on my shoulder for my inflator to go through so it does not get lost. I only have 5mm bungee at the moment. anyone got any offcuts that might be suitable?

Thanks in advance.

I've got to get some for something - I'll let you have a bit next time I see you mate. Black of course?

Wouldn't have it any other way.

well i suess it's a bit of 2mm or 3mm black bungee but not 100% sure. Can anyone confirm size?

I think mine that came with my Halcyon harness is 4 or 5 mil. I like having it a bit thicker to give it some strength but it's up to you.

how do you hae yours hooked up? do you loop it between the chest d-Ding and the harness so it's trapped or just loop it around the harness webbing?

The first one.

On my 'grand trip' the 3mm I had broke twice in a year (I was diving every day) so I have moved up to 5mm. Of course, it may just be that I am heavy-handed.

Hey Jason,

Mine came fitted with the bungee sitting between the left D-ring and the tri-glide that holds it in place. This way it remains in the same place on the harness and you don't have to worry it will slip away.

As for getting it there, just pull some harness through the tri-glide so you have a small gap between it and the D-ring then feed the bungy through. Tie a knot and you're sorted.

HTH. Pete
