The DGX Hogarthian EPDM Loop (A.K.A. Snoopy Loop) is used on { 2 in | 5.1 cm } webbing to secure backup lights or tools attached to a shoulder strap or waist band with a bolt snap.
Backup lights are often snapped to a shoulder D-ring (Hogarthian) and the bands are used to limit movement as it hangs down. Unsecured backup lights may swing free during dives and become damaged or cause damage.
The durable EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) bands will withstand the test of time and diving environments with their resistance to temperature, salt, chlorine, and anything else your diving environment has to offer. NOTE: Must be attached to your nylon webbing harness DURING the assembly or threading of the harness.
The EPDM loop is {0.5 in | 1.2 cm} wide with a {.063 | 0.16 cm} wall thickness
The loop of EPDM material has an approximate diameter of { 2 in | 5.1 cm } when NOT stretched(Flat Length).
These are so much better than the crummy loops that came on my premium brand BP/W. I ordered a half dozen and replaced all the thin, chopped up pieces of bicycle tube on my rig. I had another DGX order one week later (somewhat like a crystal meth addict but without all the hideous facial wounds and zombie like appearance) and bought another half dozen for my save-a-dive kit.
Excellent quality loops. They are much better than the crummy, thin little bicycle inner tubes XDeep provides on their BP/W rigs. Bought a dozen of these EPDM loops - seven on my XDeep BP/W with five in my save-a-dive kit.
