Plainly... that makes no sense.

Unless he's using this wing and keeps it fully inflated at all times:

That's one of the main draws of a BP/W system. The modularity allows for a very simple, minimalist, streamlined rig.
Hot air balloon!
 
Does anyone make a dual bladder w/ dual dumps for doubles?

How does that spandex design hold up compared to the oxy or dive rite designs?

Dual dumps are unneccessary.

I have no direct knowledge of the Triple design, but I can say spandex is not durable in the long term. It has a latex thread. Latex is what most elastic is made from, think about the waist band in a pair of underwear, latex thread. Ever had a pair of undies loose their "grip"?

It's helpful for those really long dives...

of these.

I'll have to work out details for cam bands, and weld a collar to thread in the valve.. but it's do-able. :D

Yes, I have. And, I've lost my grip a few times, too. :D

I dive a Zeagle dual bladder system with dual inflators and dual dumps. They have two models. Big Bertha (dual 65lb) and Little Bertha (dual 55lb). I have no problem with drag or streamlining and lets just say I have had a few cylinders on my person during some dives
