Another six pounds would be nice
I dropped 9lb with the switch to the BP (my BC was very padded).
Thanks heaps of the link for fitting my BP/W
I am using an OMS BP with a 32lb OMS wing, and it has two tank bands, not an STA. The harness was made for me in the store out of webbing and some d-rings - they fitted it pretty well considering what I have read on that link though they did say I might want to move the wing higher or lower on the plate and loosen the straps if it was too tight with my wetsuit. I took apart the harness to add some bike tubing on, it's really easy to modify myself!
The crotch strap is a clip on one though so not like in that link (but they told me a threaded one is easy to do) and my waist buckle ends up in the middle when I put it on (but pretty high like in that pic!)
I will go through that site in more detail at home later to check the fit again. It takes me a few dives to sort out things!
Going to get a thigh pocket that sits on the harness to hold my spare mask and shears too.
I tried out a comfort harness too but really didn't like that as there's too much stuff on it. That is why I like having the really simple harness, there's nothing much on my chest and dangling off my shoulders, etc.
Do you have a protector padded type thing on the BP? I have seen a few people with those and was wondering if I should have one of them...
