Drysuit inflation system

What are you guys using..... 6cuft, 8cuft or 13cuft. I will rig my bottle below my Can light on my crotch strap

Looking for some photos so I can see just how big the 13cuft might be

are you doing OC trimix? if doing it in OW and not squeezing through stuff, it may be easier to strap to one of your primary bottles than to try and butt mount it. The 13's are big, use your can light dimensions for relativity or go to home depot and get a short section of PVC pipe. 3" schedule 40 at 14" long will roughly simulate a 6cf w/ valve, and 4" sch40 at 16" long will roughly simulate an AL13 w/valve.

This is an al6 from @rjack321

One thing you can also think about is putting an inflator hose on your deep deco bottles and using that for inflation. 50% is a common bottle to get an inflator hose if diving OW where you aren't dropping things off. If you have 32% with you, that's obviously better

Thanks, I decided to go with the 6cuft. I was looking at measurements, but that was without valve. 16in would be too long

BTW that mounting sucks

6 cuft. is pretty small for OC trimix level dives. I'd just run an inflator off of a deco bottle if you're not using that much gas, and do away with the separate inflation bottle altogether.
