  • @bloodymarvelous4790
    @bloodymarvelous4790 3 месяца назад

    There are wings with different lift capacities for a reason. If you needed 60lbs of lift for twins, they wouldn't make 45lbs wings. Same is true for single backmount and sidemount setups. I went with a 40lbs single wing because of the weird pricing at my dive store. I wanted the PSD coating that Apeks offers, and the tiny price differences steered me towards the 40lbs. Webbing is webbing. You don't need the branding. Same goes for backplates (except for XDeep). Adjustable harnesses are a godsent if you're using them with different types of exposure suits. Having to adjust a single piece of webbing every time you switch from a rashguard to a 3mm to a 5mm to a drysuit is an absolute pain in the backside.
