Greetings Stano couple of quick questions for you;
What tanks are you using? Size? Steel?
What are your thoughts on the three dumps? I guess I never had issues with just two so I am curious. I know what DR says on their site but interested in your report.

I have not gotten the op to ride one of the JT's yet I have a custom Nomad pre XT that is still being tweaked.
I also have a Razor clone that I have been playing with it is interesting.
I look forward to the SM seminar by Lamar at REACT should be interesting as well.

I am diving al 80's with a 3lb weight on each one. I will likely get steel tanks as time goes on. I currently only own two tanks. I changed both of my tanks to Lefties so I can get rights from my buddy.

As far as the dumps I use the rear dumps. Having one on either side is a nice option. Also with the inflator coming from the bottom factory u don't lose the bottom inflator like other rigs. I did put a ball on all three pulls also as the factory ones are very small.

Stano, I think this is a very intelligent design and will help a lot of JT divers that need a little additional weight. Have you considered expanding the weight plate at the bottom corners in order to fit over the webbing hardware? I think this would help secure the plate and add additional weight. The perfect plate for me would weigh 6lbs.
