The Dive Gear Express Premium Webbing Stage Strap Kits are based on straps made from { 2,200 lbs | 1 mt } tensile strength nylon webbing that resists breakage and splitting, to create a durable and long-lasting foundation for stage rigging. It's also better than round cord because it does not stretch and lies very flat against the side of the cylinder. A sewn loop to encircle the neck of the valve together with a position adjustable crown snap attaches the top of the cylinder to your shoulder strap D-ring. The strap then runs through a piece of removable vinyl tubing to another position adjustable snap on the adjustable length tail of the strap that is held in place with our better quality Aero style industrial stainless steel sheathed clamp at the bottom of the cylinder. The kit includes your choice of size to match your cylinder, a high quality elastic hose retainer and two XL bolt snaps that are easier to use, particularly with gloves.

This stage strap kit requires assembly and therefore allows you to position the hardware in the location you prefer, because the snaps are not sewn in place, they are held in place with special stainless steel keepers. This means the snaps can be changed for another size if you prefer and their position on the neck plus the length of the tail of the strap can be adjusted to suit the application and diver preference. If you also need a lower profile, because the snaps are not sewn in, the vinyl tubing can be removed.

Best practice is to also dedicate your cylinder to a specific mix with a pair of MOD Decals.

When using ordinary inexpensive automotive hose clamps for securing hogarthian style cylinder stage straps you must avoid using the strap as a carry handle otherwise properly tightened clamps will eventually move and the strap will loosen. The heavy-duty industrial grade Aero cylinder clamp included in this DGX Premium Webbing Stage Strap Kit can be torqued down much tighter than automotive clamps, significantly reducing movement of the clamp. However, we do continue to recommend avoid using the stage strap as a carry handle. Although this is an industrial heavy-duty grade clamp, with effort it is still possible to break this clamp by over tightening with a hand screwdriver.
