I think I have read some posts in this forum before that implied (or maybe flat out stated) that you don't get the same tank positioning when using ring bungees versus using a loop bungee.
Is that correct? If so, why? What is the difference in tank position?
Is it something to do with the twisting force that the loop bungee puts on the tank valve versus no twisting force when using a ring?
It seems like if the leash (from the ring in the ring bungee that goes forward to a chest ring or shoulder strap) is long enough, it would let the tank ride just as far back or high as when using a loop bungee. I.e. it seems like you could get the same tank position, but I haven't tried it, so maybe I'm not "getting" something about this. Wouldn't be the first (or last) time!
If I need to be more specific, then I'll specify steel tanks. And a rig like an xDeep Stealth or Apeks WSX.
