PloProf meets GasGasBones :-)

Post by GGD » Tue Mar 20, 2012 9:12 pm

Hey gang -

got Carl from GasGasBones to make me a custom strap for the PloProf.

Hard to beat for the sheer comfort :thumbsup:

Looks great Donna. I prefer the rubber with that huge clasp, but I am sure the GGB is very comfortable.

That looks great. It is perhaps the nicest strap set-up I've evet seen for the PP. I really need to see a PP in person.

Looking great Donna :thumbsup: I don't normally like the contrast stitching on those, but it really works on that one with the orange hand and pusher.

love it.

I used to wear the ploprof on a zulu.

Thanks boys!

Steve - I agree, I'm not normally a fan of the contrast stitching either but it seems to work on this one.

It's definately the most comfortable set-up I've tried on the PP. I prefer the look of the Omega rubber but it's a little bit bulky sometimes.

:cheers:

Hit up the Omega Boutique in the Scottsdale Fashion Square...they have a couple on display (1-black dial, 1-white dial).

It's too far. Hell I'm too lazy to drive to Oliver Smith to pick up the JCL rubber. Seriously though, if I'm over there I'll check it out. Thanks for the tip.
