Because it's Hollis Canada who don't have stock of the large size. And they were the ones saying it is the same.
Im sure I could ask the store to make Hollis send the right pads. But we already built up my new full bpw set up and I don't want to wait weeks for a replacement.
It was part of a pretty huge order of dive kit and it's all pretty much arrived and I want to get out diving while our lakes are not frozen!
And to be honest I don't think the pads really do anything. I think they are purely there to appeal to people switching from a big padded jacket style bcd.
hmmm, there are plenty of place will ship to Canada, such as these
Hollis Elite 2 Adjustable Harness System
Hollis Elite 2 Harness | Dive Right In Scuba - Plainfield, IL - Dive Right in Scuba
No?
I just don't like the idea of buying a commodity product (not unique nor exclusive), at the retail price, and still don't get what I really want. If you don't need the paddings, it is all good. But how confident are you about "the only difference is the size of the shoulder pad" part?? I thought you got wrong info from them before.
