Is soft webbing good enough to be made for harness? I heard that in NZ including at Global Dive, only offer soft webbing. then again i don't know the real difference between soft and hard webbing except that they spell and pronounce differently.

Thanks for the input

i was talking to some bros in waipukurau and they were saying flax is the business at the moment.

"Flax" ???

Use a more firm webbing for the main harness, but most people use a soft one for the crotch strap.

I need webbing, but talking to Global today and they want $20 per metre! What a fcuking rip off..

Anyone know of a cheaper source? I would prefer a similar type to the standard feel webbing...

..or your local friendly scrap yard for some old seat belts (it's been done before!)

Yeah been thinking about the seat belts but i'd imagine it's a pain with the floppy webbing...

I'm gonna have a look at some commercial tie downs that are 9m long 50mm wide and in varying load ratings.. they're $25 and if I just cut off the fittings should be the go I reckon..

And Tie downs are available in a range of colours too!

I need some webbing myself.

Apparently blee017 is planning an order at Scubatoys, the webbing there is mucho mucho cheep!

One of our suppliers (Reid & Twiname) do what they call "Industrial weight" 50mm webbing in black for $1.90/m
Cheaper if you buy 100m roll.

It sound like you might be sorted anyway, but if you want I can get a sample for you to look at.

You guys tried Canvas City in Aucks? Might be worth a call.... they have all the sorted stuff.

I've received a sample of webbing from bluey and it's great! it's really tough but still with a bit of suppleness and locks on tri glides well. PM me if you want to get some.

Im keen on 3 meters. Or 6 at $1.90pm

I think I'll get a hundred metre roll as a few folk want some and it's even cheaper then..

Ill take 1/10 of that then.
