Hi all,

Wanted to share this for some of the newcomers, or even more experienced collectors!

This is a guide on NATO straps, how to select them, fit them and more.

Check it out here: Guide

Please let me know what you think! :) Hope it's useful!

Kind regards,
Karl

I prefer the RAF Nato straps, removes most of the excess metal keepers and is more handy for those not going to put a strap on over a wet suit, which is probably about 98% of us.

Here’s an RAF Nato, easier to change out, and no extra keepers and excess fold overs sticking out like a Christmas ribbon bow.





Here’s mine on my LLD, at Christmas time by the tree.

Loving that legend diver too :)
Where did you buy your RAF Strap??
Trim any NATO to be RAF style, I marked where you trim it at. Then use a lighter to melt the cut edges.

Great video, is that yours?:smileyface_hand_cla

Oh and I was talking about making RAF style which is actually cutting off the extra material on the back of the strap.
