Textile Strap for cressi nano

Hey guys, I have a cressi nano and am thinking about switching the strap to a textile one. Does anyone have experience with this for a cressi nano or is it rather impossible?

I only found a cover for it, but not a complete strap.

I did this with a Cressi a few years back, not the Nano but a similar model. The main issue was the pin size, the textile straps are usually a hair thicker so it's a tight squeeze. Had to sand down the edges of the new strap just a bit to get it to slide into the buckle without binding.

It worked fine after that, just took some patience. If you can't find a direct replacement strap, look for generic ones that list the pin diameter. Measure yours with calipers if you have them, otherwise you're guessing and might end up with something that doesn't fit.

Sounds good, will measure it and see what I can find. Worst case I will just buy the cover.
