Hello DSS!
I bought a backplate and wing from you guys about 8 years ago and didn't make it much longer until an injury sidelined me for a long time. I am finally ready to start diving again and want to know what I need to do to get the gear in top shape. I bought a LCD 30; I can't remember which BP I bought (although I'm looking at it here; I don't see any model markings). They have both been in storage inside my house in a closet for years with no use to speak of.

For the BP, the only thing I I'd question is the nylon belts, but they seem fine. There hasn't been any moisture or sun exposure, so I should be ok there correct?

For the wing, do I need to replace the o-rings on the inflater hose? How much should I trust the bladder? Is there a way to check it out or should I just look at replacing that as well.

Visually, I don't see any problems with either parts, but I wanted to ask you directly what your thoughts were.

Thanks again! I can't wait to start using your great equipment again!
