What kind of fin straps do you use and would you change them? Some of the people I dive with told me I need to go to the spring straps because they are the best.

[Choose #1] My Tusa’s have the best straps in my opinion from a manufacture. As a replacement I like the spring straps

[Choose #3] springs are great, easier to use then rubber ones, but the rubber ones work fine too, untill they break...

[Choose #2] A buddy had ones easier to get on, but such things cost money so I won’t change.

[Choose #3] After 45min in 34°F water, the easier the better, and they are the easiest.

[Choose #4] I have straps that clip open, so never need to adjust my straps when kitting up.

[Choose #3] Spring straps rule! They are easy to use, never snag on things, and are almost impossible to break.

[Choose #3] Spring starap are great, especially when beach diving, but they are not all the same in price or comfort. I found the best to also be the cheapest.
