Good Product, Wouldn't Recommend for Tech Purposes
Mar 21, 2022
Got these by accident a few years ago, without the actual mini-SPGs to go with them. Then a few years later I got SPGs for them. Installation involves pretty much boiling the plastic to make it malleable before slipping it over the SPG/hose. From there, the intent to protect the SPG from physical abuse seems to be fulfilled. While I never used the various "handles" to attach bolt-snaps, those are a nice feature, and I would imagine they could be broken away in an emergency.
However, a word of warning to tech divers or people diving to higher standards from a reliability perspective: you can't easily manipulate the HP spool should the O-rings partially fail. Found this out first-hand in a cave, and sadly had to turn the dive early. Without the boot, I would have been able to quickly diagnose the issue as the spool and rotate it around just right. Even when out of the water, I couldn't readily replace the HP spool without taking it off which took boiling water, etc. Additionally (and with most/all SPG boots) when I did take the boot off, I found that the SPG itself was corroded somewhat.
I'd like to emphasize that I'm not criticizing the product. It protected the SPGs from hard hits against rocks and stuff. I am just giving food for thought when considering this solution, because it does not come without costs later down the line.
Low cost but a great product

As stated before it is a snug fit, which is great in my opinion. You will have to soak it in warm water to get it on but not a big deal at all. I would say the loop on the top seems to be very flimsy so I don't trust using it as an clip or anchor point.
