The chestmount that I built in a laundry, and the harness with the aliexpress wing, I built in the sewing room

So I am quite pleased with the stuff that fits on back and front, between any clunky bottles worn on the sides
 
And given that I hail from Magnificent Melbourne Victoria, I feel that I have the responsibility to say that
I also quite enjoy, my unassumingly modified divesite teleporting capsule, almost as much as I do diving

without any encumbering ugly signs, or stickers inviting any that shall come to steal all the gear inside it
 
13-4E in USA sizing
I'm the same size. When I wear my drysuit the struggle is real trying to squeeze my boots into my XT's and get the spring strap over the heel.
 
Pretty stoked about this harness I built from Piranha parts to go with the used Xdeep Classic wing I found. All in about $150:

Razor4 harness system is my fav thing, especially with the Dive Rite sliding D's. I opted for the 1.5'' webbing system instead of the 2'', haven't regretted it so far.

Pro tip though.. those D rings have knife edges when bought new. Spend some time with some 400grit paper to dull them down so they don't cut your fingertips when wet.

I just ordered a used classic wing with the stealth harness for around 150USD. I see that you made your own harness, is the wing attached to the harness by any way? or do you don the harness and then the wing on top of that again?

Yes I have the wing attached with bungees at the bottom and to the shoulder straps. Just makes putting it on easier and I don't see myself taking it off.
Currently rerigging that harness to be lighter/easier to pack up for travel since the full XDeep Tech is a bit bulky.
 
For deco tank this little piece of metal makes life so much easier. I dive in cold water and use mitten gloves.

I just did the same! How’d you set your weights up? My intent is to use the bungee plates, but interested in what others have done.
