The next set of pics shows myself wearing the old bc and the new one. Once again, notice how paralel the tank is held to my body in the old bc. No matter how I try to adjust the bacpac, I cannot over come the backward fall the tank is now assuming. This backward fall does not offer alot of movement in the second stadge as you try to turn your head to the left. Once again, this was NEVER an issue with the old bc. I think the pictures speak for themselves. Rich
