Could you tell us your opinion on plastic cambands from xdeep? I've bought xdeep zeos and replaced those with metal buckle cambands (also from xdeep) which are much easier to fasten. Fastening the plastic ones was a struggle, had to use lot of force and the result wasn't satysfying, they were pretty loose.
What is the zelcro like on the metal ones? I got my set up there with the plastic and trim pockets but find it's a bit of a pain to get the zelcro strap on underneath it on a 12l steel. Are the metal ones any better in this regard?
I have a 2 piece metal buckle system. I always have to get the straps wet in order to get the buckle close to buckling on order to allow the bands to stretch. Most of the time I tend to have to loosing the strap to get it to buckle and then retighten it just before going into the dive. Am I doing something wrong? Maybe tightening the strap too tight?
#askMark Hi guys can you please tell me what is a 4mm compressed neoprene dry suit equivalent to In a wet suit roughly insulation wise The reason I’m asking is I’ve purchased an 03 drysuit, but not sure what level of insulation I need under suit as I’m new to dry suit Thanks
Glad you are covering this
I use 2 cam bands on my BCD.

@@ReaperofMind If I understood correctly you have a problem with pushing the velcro strap through a hole on weight pockets?
@@Wojtkacy Yeah. It is a bit of a pain. It kind if gets stuck as you push it through. I was wondering if it is better on the metal clips cam bands?
@@ReaperofMind I'm gonna check that and I'll give you an answer but I think it's the same strap, just the buckle is different...
@@Wojtkacy Thanks Wojtek. Appreciate the replies. :)

Great content, thank you but I'll stick with my Scubapro straps.
