Sorry, just wanted to make sure I could get on this thread too ut:

You still use duct tape to hold your tank on?

I compared with mine powertech and positioned same with yours. Marked the velcros on it as attached. the velcros and the buckle positioning are correct but fitted on the BC incorrectly due to your photo. the thing is just make the strap inside out that means the velcro should be at the outside. Then turn the ring on the buckle once since there are two possible positions. Then try once more and insert to the backpack as the velcros should be outside. Only the fitting of the guy assembled the strap is wrong.

I hope the above makes sense and work.:mean:

Moray,
Thanks, but MY Velcro os on the OPPOSITE side of where you denote the yellow - definately meaning mine WAS assembled incorrectly and I am getting a new one today.

By the way, this BC came from Leisure Pro and after calling them and them saying "What do you want us to do - we are not really a Mares dealer" bring home earlier threads concerning if a Mail order firm is going to assist you when you have problems.

Sure they are issuing me a credit for the problem, however, for some, this may have resulted in a missed diving trip.

I think about this fiasco I'll be making more purchases in my LDS. Would have been a whole lot easier to have drove 5 miles to the LDS than mess around with mail order.

When the lay it out it looks like:

^^^^^ equals Velcro pointing UP

[______] __________^^^^^^^^_____________


Buckle opening facing UP - Velcro facing UP...

That's backwards.
Take it back.

Although we all couldn't get along, I am glad we finally got through the backward strap (BS) problem. Another way to fix the BS problem would be go just go to doubles and do away with cam/tank straps entirely! No more BS!

But then you would need a backplate and wing to mount your doubles...

Awwwww, I was just starting to have fun!!!!

 

[jonnythan]

that it would take all of 30 seconds for you to fit it yourself? Why is this still going on? You're sending it back?

Why haven't you fixed it?
