I'm looking at getting a Halcyon BPW. I'm currently a Rescue Diver and DMC.
In rescue situation someone may need to remove my gear. I find it odd or even dangerous that shoulder straps typically do not have release clips. I know some divers carry scissors, but why not just have clips like jacket BCDs. I assume this would also make the BPW easier to get into.
I'm sure there a reason somehow related to DIR, but I just don't see why no release chips is better. Educate me.
