I have a Hollis SMS 50 that I use just for open water (no religious arguments please - I like the redundancy and my joints won't handle walking up a ladder with 100+ lbs of gear anymore)
The tank valve is attached to the harness with a bolt snap and cave line, however the BC also came with bungees that go around the tank neck and pull it tighter to the harness.
I'm thinking of ditching the bungee since it just adds to the amount of "stuff" happening near the tank valve (hoses, bolt-snap, bungee, reg, etc.). I've tried it without the bungee and there isn't a big difference. The tank hangs just a little looser, but I don't think it's a problem.
Is the bungee really necessary, or is it like the padding and cummerbund I removed from my jacket BC and tossed in the spare parts box?
