Cheap but good shark mesh?

Post by baldrick »

Hi, gang,

I fancy trying shark mesh on a couple of my divers. However, I'm not sure if I will love it, so I don't want to spend a fortune on a gamble.

Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced source of shark mesh bracelets that are also of decent (enough) quality?

I'm thinking around the USD 50 or lower mark, and can then go higher if I like the look and want better quality.

If that's completely unrealistic, what's the ballpark?

Thanks in advance!

Just outside your range, but maybe check out WatchGecko. They offer well made bracelets.
Here's a shark mesh they have for about $66. But they're is also 10% off code that works, brining it to down to $59.

Thanks both - just what I was after. I'll test the amazon ones and then move up to the gecko if it works.

I own the second amazon one and can confirm good quality...but note that unlike Matt’s first link, it must be cut to be resized. There are no removable links.

As a shark mesh enthusiast, I'll chime in.

I have at least one from this seller. I also have spare 20mm links (and maybe 22mm) that I am happy to send out at N/C to my larger-wristed brethren.
Just my $0.02 USD as always.
