Standard Spring Straps by XS Scuba
Effortlessly Don and Doff Your Fins
Struggling to adjust traditional rubber fin straps on a rocking boat deck is a thing of the past. The XS Scuba Standard Spring Straps make putting on and taking off your fins incredibly easy. Equipped with a large rubber grip puller, you can easily stretch the straps over your heel even while wearing thick neoprene gloves. They also feature a familiar squeeze-style quick-release buckle mechanism, making installation straightforward while ensuring compatibility with most open-heel fins that utilize a standard large buckle mounting stud.
Depth Compensating Comfort
Neoprene dive boots compress as you descend, which can cause standard rubber fin straps to become loose and sloppy at depth. These spring straps solve that problem by automatically adjusting to your feet. The coil springs provide constant, comfortable tension that compensates for the compression of your boots as water pressure increases, meaning you never have to stop and tighten your fins during a dive. When you ascend, they smoothly expand back to their original size. For added durability, an internal safety line is built into the springs to prevent accidental over-stretching.
Marine-Grade Durability and Sizing
Built for the harshest environments, these straps are manufactured from highly durable, corrosion-resistant, passivated 304-grade stainless steel. They will easily outlast traditional rubber straps and resist rusting in saltwater. The rubber grip not only aids in pulling the strap but also provides a comfortable cushion between the metal spring and your heel.
How to find your size: Insert your foot into your fin pocket while wearing your dive boot. Measure from the attachment point on one side of the fin, around the back of your heel, to the attachment point on the other side. Choose the spring strap with an overall length that is approximately 1 inch (25mm) shorter than your measurement for the perfect fit.
