Good job. I really like the modularity of BP win* setups, steel plate for cold water, aluminum or soft for down south. I have been diving a conventional jacket style BCD, but my next rig will be a Backplate with a really lean no frills setup. Looking forward to the next vid
Great information! When it comes to sizing, ideally, how far down should the chest strap sit with each configuration? In the Scuba Labs video, it looked like they had the chest strap fairly high, and others I've seen where it's about level with/just above the nipple line. Thanks!
That's pretty accurate as to where it crosses, but it's all about personal taste and comfort. Some folks when they don a BC they will pull down on the shoulder adjusters then connect the chest. Others will close the belly, go up to the chest strap and then the shoulders adjusters. One crossing adjustment up or down can make it perfect. That's for the comment Bob C
I was wondering if HOG makes a taller Aluminum Backplate? I'm tall in the torso and would like one a little taller about 2 to 3 inches. I currently have the red aluminum one now and my waist strap rides a little bit high.

Bob,
Does the 2022 60lb wing come with left shoulder dump or is that an added option?
Hey Jud, The 60 comes just with the Elbow but you can add the pull dump. Very inexpensive. Bob C

Hi William, We have considered a longer and a shorter plate, but with current supply issues that's on hold.
@@DiversSupplyYT I know it would be nice to have this option, one size fits all doesn't work well for some of us.
