Just saw a picture of it in Dive Rite's most recent email... It looks fantastic, was wondering if you could get some bigger, better pics please.

it looks very similar to the current nomad and the pic in the email isn't really worth attaching... Too small and not detailed enough
What's interesting to note is there are dump valves on the bottom right AND left, as well as the inflator on the bottom left. AND a dump on the top center of the wing. I think we'll be able to dump the hell out of the air... All dumps are on the inside of the wing to protect from scraping and what not, but full dumps may be a bit tricky in horizontal trim, will require some rolling to the side.
Here's the description
"For purists and hard core sidemount explorers, the Nomad JT is the rig you want to wear. This rig is designed strictly for sidemount diving and will not adapt to doubles or single tanks.
The rig has a 360-degree, 50lb lift wing that gives added lift at the diver's hips/rear which is important for explorers carrying heavy or multiple cylinders.
There are two dumps on the bottom of the wing: one on the lower left and one on the lower right. The added right dump is to accommodate stage bottles that block access to the lower, left dump. The OPV on the top of the wing is tucked inside the wing, facing the diver to avoid becoming a water trap. A thin cord runs from the OPV at the top down the left shoulder via a channel and can be shortened to diver's desired length. This cord is reversible for divers who wish to run it down the right shoulder. Reverse inflation hose is located just above the lower left dump valve and can be attached to the shoulder D or chest strap for streamlining and easy access.
The tank bungees no longer run across the back of the wing and are now attached to daisy chain loops on the inner soft backplate and run across the front of the wing (facing the diver). There are two sets of loops, plus one center loop which gives divers options for lengthening or shortening bungees. Both standard and ring bungees work with the JT.
The harness is a modified Deluxe harness with hardware pivot points at the chest to ensure a proper fit along with a chest strap. The waist strap runs through stainless metal oval loops on the wing to capture the wing and keep it tight to the body. Gone are the quick release buckles on the shoulders as well as the stainless side plates at the waist. The crotch strap runs high on the back of the wing to give attachment points for lights, reels or stage tanks. Otherwise, the back of the Nomad JT is completely clean.
Model No: BC4900
MSRP: $699.00
ETA: In production with first units avail late May."

4 dump valves must be some sort of record!
Surprised to see it still has the plastic buckle on the chest strap.

It looks great! However from the back side it looks like a horseshoe crab.
