Pretty excited to get it in the water.

Hey, that looks like a really nice piece of gear! Congratulations!

Thanks!

Josh #2 is right, it does look like a nice piece of gear. When's the test dive?

Might be next weekend with you, actually. Probably won't have a chance before then...

That thing looks pretty high tech.

I am kinda suprised, aren't you that guy that dives the wooden backplate and wears a sand pale on your head to help equalize your ears? Anyhoo..nice wing, if your into that modern stuff.

Never, ever underestimate the desire of a "Meg Man" to get yet another piece of gear with the ISC logo on it....

I won't deny being an ISC fanboy. The logo is pretty sweet, too. Not as cool as that whole "red lipstick" KISS thing, of course...... but it's pretty good.

But what really drove this purchase for me was the fact that it's not easy to find a wing with 50# of lift. Which seems to be the sweet spot for me- my Oxycheq is a 42# wing that doesn't quite get my airway out of the water when I'm in full kit....which, of course, is not a big deal on a CCR, unless you need to get off the loop. Then, it's a really big deal.

[sarcasm]Isn't it hard to breath off a single corrugated hose? I thought you guys had two connected together. Is that an aftermarket/DIY part?[/sarcasm]

I dont see the problem. It's for a re breather, right?

Don't know the problem. I've got a dual bladder OMS wing in my garage that has never been used. The project I bought it for never happened and it is way too much wing for everything else.

congrats to you and the new gear purchase
