I just switched from Transplate to basic harness for GUE fundies. I obserived a very interesting thing.
The one piece harness webbing is very soft to a point that when it is wet, it doesn't stay flat in the slot of the backplate. It kind of bunch up a little toward a side. I can only imagine over time, this strap can wear out very fast. The shoulder webbing on the transplate is nice and stiff.
Now the crotch strap. The webbing there is so stiff. Even those there is a neoprene wrap around, I can still feel it. This webbing is stiffer than the shoulder transplate shoulder strap.
My question: Is this intentional? If so, why a under weight should strap & an extra stiff crotch strap? If not, did I get a fake/bad batch? Can I have it exchange?
In comparison to my team mate who has a DSS setup. DSS has stiffer shoulder webbing (but still not as stiff as the DiveRite crotch) and a very soft crotch strap. This is what I think the way should be.
