Anyone using a Hollis wing on either a HOG or Dive Rite backplate?

I think your cam band is NOT threaded correctly. The last slot of the buckle, the webbing should thread from inside to outside, then covering the end of the buckle, then attach to velcro.

On the backplate this is 7-3/8". On the wing, 7-3/4". The slots in the wing are 1/4" wider than those in the backplate so the small difference in spacing doesn't cause trouble. The spacing between the sex bolt holes and the slots also matches up between the two.

Can anyone help me. Bought a hollis HTS harness at a good price $150 planning to use a diverite wing I have but the middle part of the wing seems to be too wide to fit between the harness. I am hoping I can jam it in there. Anyone else run into a similiar problem?

singles or doubles and what wing? The HTS is essentially a cheaper quality version of the Transpac, and most of the Dive Rite wings that work for single tanks are designed for the transpac, which is why none of them have stabilizer bars for STA-less diving on hard backplates.

No problem(double or single) for me.
But you can add padding if you want!
