Bungee question

Post by Norris »

Can someone please tell me the preferred size of bungee chords???

Wrist mount computers + compass = ?

Secondary necklace = ?

I want to order some online and I can figure it out when I am looking at it in a store, but online not so much.

yes, should work well. Did you look in your PIF box for some or is there only o-rings?

For wrist mount bungees I typically use 1/8" (3mm).

For my secondary regulator on a neck bungee, I find thicker 3/16" (5mm) to be much more comfortable than the thinner cord.
