    Doubles recommendation for tall diver

    I plan to buy at set of double tanks this year. I am 6'6" and wondering if X7-120's trim out better for taller divers than the X8-119's or 130's. Double 120's don't appear to be common so tough for me to try in advance. The gas volume difference between the tanks I can accomodate, I am more...

    Flex Extreme Zipper

    I am interested in buying a Flex Extreme drysuit this year. I tried a number of suits at one of your Dog Day demos last year and one future I liked was the Quick Zip design. It made it a lot easier for me to start the zipper. My LDS tells me that it is not available on the Flex Extreme. Is...

    New LED light?

    LED light technology is moving quickly. Many companies are now offering LED canister lights that are far brighter than the Halcyon EOS. Is a next generation LED light in the works at Halcyon? Are we going to see anything soon? Myself and others really like the Halcyon quality, so we're...

    Choosing 30 or 40 Halcyon eclipse

    I called Halcyon on the topic last week. The outside profile of the wings is similar so they said there would not be a noticable difference in drag in the water...the 40# is just a little wider For cold climates where divers need more weight to compensate for thicker suits, they recommended...

    Halcyon Eclipse question

    The BP and STA are both 11" on centre and work together fine, the grommets in the wing are 11 1/2. Attached is a photo, one end of the STA is lined up over the grommet, the other you can see is below the grommet.

    Halcyon Eclipse question

    I just got a Halcyon Eclipse wing. I was assembling everything tonight and found that the grommets in the wing are 11 1/2" on center, not 11" like my BP and the STA. That does not seem right to me. Has anyone else experienced this? I think the wing should align with the STA (also Halcyon)...

    SS Backplate

    I'm looking for a custom (longer) SS backplate. I have seen older posts mentioning plates made in Ontario by Gary Hoadley. The products seem highly regarded. His sympatico email address was bounced back. Does anyone know if he still makes backplates and how to reach him?

    Flathead 7 Second stage

    Are there any differences between the second stage on the Flathead 7 and the second stage found on the other Zeagle reg's like the Flathead 6? I have always found the first stage on Zeagle regs to be of the highest quality, but the fit and finish on the second stage does not match, I wonder if...

    Zipper location and durability

    Are self entry dry suit zippers (those located across the chest) more likely to fail than those located across the shoulders on the back? It seems that when the zipper is in the front it is folded backwards (the bad way for a zipper) when one leans forward. I'm curious if anyone has any data...

    USIA Pockets

    I'm looking at buying a USIA suit. The website is not very clear on the pockets available. Does anyone have more details on the detachable pockets, this MOLLE system? Does it work well? What are the pockets themselves like...velco or zipper...mesh or gromet drains? Do they have a D-ring...

    Longer Backplate

    I am planning to buy a backplate and wing assembly soon. I see a few suppliers, like DSS offer backplates in various sizes, where as others like Halcyon, Dive Rite etc offer just one standard size. I expect there are savings for these companies by offering just a standard size, but for the...
