I'm curious if other divers have or have used one of these systems. I picked this one up a few months ago with the factory BC which I was barely able to use in the pool because of its size.
With my dry suit I need a large or XL BC, so I found a used back plate with straps and drilled a couple holes and voila. Lake Superior here I come.
I realize these are from the 80s and are not necessarily considered vintage, however due to the fact that I am not using a BC I felt it would be better received here. If it needs to be moved I understand.
I really enjoy mine now that I have a solution to using it in open water. I don't believe wing would work all that well as the pack sits very close to the case. Perhaps someone more familiar with backpacks and doubles could chime in.
I do know that these pop up on ebay every now and again and sell each time, so I'm curious if other divers have been using them. They're kind of large for wall hangers.
