Either I am or I have a genius idea that I am about to give away on Scubaboard by asking this question.... :06:
Here is the situation... I love my new BP+W setup. Wouldn't trade it for the world and will never go back to a regular BC. I also love diving warm water and not wearing wetsuits, just a skin or something since I don't get cold easily but the webbing on bare skin/dive skin = chafing
Solutions -
Wear a wetsuit on every dive-> I could but that is not the point...
Pads on harness -> block the d-rings so NO!
Go with a DR/OMS comfort harness setup -> defeats the purpose of single webbing
So why not...
Have a padding setup that puts padding underneath the harness but does not cover the d-rings. Think of a piece of padding that has two bands along the top side that you slide the webbing through. Use some sort of elastic type material to provide grip and if that does not work to hold it use a pin/screw type connector to fasten it. This would allow you to adjust the position if you used it with different suits.
So.. am I smoking crack or do you think that this might have legs or even better yet that there is someone making something like this that I am not aware of? Short of finding someone who makes custom tack or whatever any ideas on tracking something like this down?
PS I know this may belong in the BC section but I thought that since all DIR divers dived a single webbing I might get a better response but feel free to move if needed!
