I understand a manual on the Katana is not absolutely needed, but could be helpful.. Why exactly do they have them for all their other products? I would like to see specifications and accurate description even more. For instance where is the left hand rear pull dump? I understand the Katana is like a prototype and the design may be in flux. Anyway, I have one and will do my best to set it up for my usage and preferences.

You are welcome @BeijaFlor I think you will find their 5/16" bungee just right for AL80s and probably HP100s.
 
I think I quit reading when I saw that pictured labeled with "sidemount diving" :p

Good point and another dumb picture..
 
Why are those "sidemount divers" wearing doubles?
You mean, in the 3 Days in Mexico article?

My guess is, because the guy with the doubles hasn't learned sidemount.:jester:

ON EDIT: When I zoomed in, I saw the other guys have back-mounted doubles, too ...

I guess they're just going through a stage. :duck:

Or the guy making "write-ups" about sidemount gear doesn't know anything about sidemount, which is not very uncommon if you ask me.
