I’ve been using this Mares Torpedo SF Buoy for a few weeks now, and I must say it has exceeded my expectations. The durability and reliability of this product are impressive, and I feel confident using it in the water. The only reason I wouldn’t give it a perfect score is that it can be a bit bulkier than I’d like, making it more difficult to store in smaller spaces.

This SF Torpedo Buoy from Mares met all my expections. It’s compact, lightweight, and easy to use. However, the strap could be a bit longer. Is there any alternative materials that can be used to make it more durable?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with the Mares Torpedo SF Buoy! We’re pleased to hear it met your expectations. Sorry to hear the strap could be longer, though. We’ve taken note of this feedback. In terms of alternative materials for increased durability, we can suggest some options to our suppliers. One possibility is replacing the current strap material with a high-strength, abrasion-resistant nylon or polyester. However, please note this would require further design and engineering changes. Would you like to see such changes happen in the future versions of this product? Feel free to share your thoughts or ask any follow-up questions!
