I have a co-worker that is very eager to dive our cold waters. Been certified for years but has mainly done warm water vacation dives. She has acquired quite a bit of gear and after researching would like to rock a backplate wing.
Does anyone have something for sale? Extras like just the BP or a single tank wing?
Free free to PM me as I am on the look out for her.
Backplate??

Re: Backplate??
If she plans to use doubles, this is a screaming deal

If singles, every few weeks or so it seems like this setup has been going on sale for $329... My fiance just got one a couple weeks ago. Even not on sale it's not bad... HOG Backplate, HOG STA, tank bands, Light Monkey DIR harness, and DRIS wing...

Not a backplate, but have a Zeagle Ranger for $100. Just want to get rid of it
Re: Backplate??
What size is it Jeremy?
I mean she has every intention of rec diving and that's about it, but figured it would be easier to help her with something I am more familiar with rather than piecing together a BC

Re: Backplate??
I always had trouble dumping gas with a Ranger with smaller singles, and I know several others that had the same problem... The wing is too big for singles so it tacos and traps air, the horshoe shape takes getting used to... The wing is like diving with a doubles wing with singles... Not optimum by any means... I was very happy to sell my Ranger a long time ago... It gets the job done, but is trying to be a crossover rig, which means it doesn't really excel at much.

You know me....I like B/W better too.
Re: Backplate??
Thanks Jeremy
XL is going to be a little larger than what I am looking for and if I had to "settle" for a BC I would certainly want it to fit.
Ill keep looking and might just piece together a brand new deal.
