Some people complained about the straps breaking easily, does happen often or were these fluke occurrences?

am boogie boarding in NZ and not Hawaii, so haven't been tested in bigger surf.

I didn't have anything break. The whole system does not feel right. I returned my fins right away, stick with DUCK FEET. You will never go wrong with Duck Feet, that is if you are a Body Surfer.

The thickness of straps aren't really a problem. Although they are rather larger than average and can be a bit uncomfortable depending on the person, it doesn't bother me at all.

We have small kids so it didn't bother them, it's possible it would bother someone who's taller! One thing I notice was sometimes the straps were vibrating from the wind and I thought it was annoying.

We did not experience that problem, sorry, no help there.But you can adjust the 'snugness' for the straps....effectively preventing the problem occurring.

I have used one of these bags for daily commuting for three years. The only time anything has even hit the spokes is when I forgot to connect one of the hooks. The straps have not been an issue

Ours has not broken and we are pretty rough with it because we used it inside a homemade mermaid costume. In order to fit the monofin inside the costume, we had to roll it up and squeeze it down the skin-tight bodice. It easily survived the roll-up. The straps have not broken yet either. But we're conscious of rinsing it off and storing it in the garage when my daughter is done swimming with it. Hope that helps. Good luck!

Unfortunately, the straps are not good and the weakest part of the design. Mine became terribly ftayed in just a short period of time. Otherwise, the bag is good.

I haven't had a problem. The straps can be loosened so that everything moves freely.

I have had no problems w/straps slipping. The only time I have slipping, is when I use my rashgard shirt underneath my suit. SRC

Definitely seems to be a flaw. We didn't have a lot of issues the straps are nylon and didn't really stain.

I did not experience any of these issues. Some of the dividers fit a little tighter than others, take your time and they will go in. My handles sees to be on solid. I have two and am very happy with them.

Not that I experienced. I was able to tie the leftover strap length together and everything stayed tight for >1000miles.

I have not had that problem, nor has the guy who recommended it to me. I don't put it to aggressive use though. I love it, and its very comfortable to carry on your back while carrying other gear. Highly recommended for cost.

The straps are adjustable...you can make them as loose or as tight as you want...I've never had a problem.

I've never had an issue. I have 2 straps supporting a tall desk of mine that is very very heavy and our cats are constantly jumping on top of it. The straps have held it very well. The plastic pieces are very thick and well made.

I'd be cautious about this chair; the straps aren't as restraining as others, and while it can take a lot of weight, it can fall apart if the bolts aren't tight.

The reason I discovered that the harness was not attached properly was because I has a difficut time tightening the harness straps. Once the harness was well attached I had no problem tightening the harness straps
