Hi,

I'm looking at getting the Apeks WTX Harness with the WTX3 Buoyancy Cell and the Single Tank Adapter...
But i'm getting it so that i can travel light. So therefore i'm not going to get a backplate.

So does anyone have much experience with this harness without the bp? Does it work ok?

TIA
Rich.

I have that harness and it works well without the bp, pretty comfy harness if you want to use double's you can get away without using the bp

I'll only be using a single tank for now.
Do you use the STA?
 
Nope just the cam bands through the harness and wing
Excellent, so i save some more weight!

Anything other things you've noticed with this setup, tips?

Oh, and are you using the WTX3 Buoyancy Cell? or a bigger or different one? Any problems with it riding up (as mentioned in another post)?
 
Only that the wing seems to sit to high, but it wasn't a problem. Other than that I've not had a problem with the wtx harness
 
No prob with the wtx3 wing, I was using the wtx4 from mem which sit alittle higher then the singles wing
