I debated whether to post this or not, but I figure that Chris and co always taken constructive criticism.
I own 4 hog plates - 2 red ali and 2 steel. I've posted how much I love the red ali plate with the 23# wing in several other threads on SB as my travel wing.
But I've noticed that after ~ 50 dives on this setup, I've had to replace the webbing. It had been sliced through on the top of the plate to the point that I didn't feel safe diving it until I replaced it. In all honestly it would probably have survived another 50 dives but there was also a 1/4" cut in the webbing at the bottom angles slots as well. 2 minutes with a file fixed the problem, but it just wasn't an area I had worried about being sharp, and it seems such a shame to have to file off that nice red finish. Both plates had the same problem. They were ordered over a year ago, so it's possible that they have been fixed since then, but it might be worth checking yours.
