Anyone ever dive one of these backplates with a single tank (as opposed to a rebreather)? How did you find it worked? What wing did you use?

I am TRULY surprised no one has replied. This BP would seem to be a terrific one for diving single tanks with no STA--the simplest and most stable arrangement I have seen so far. I am so tempted to bite at it. However, I sent an email question to Golem but have yet to receive a reply. No reply means no business from me. Too bad. As far as I am concerned, Golem Gear does not exist.
 
As mentioned in other thread.
I have responded to your email. Please check your spam filters.

To answer your question:
Yes they are great for single tank diving. Very clean and streamlined configuration.

And the combo packages are on sale now :)

WOW!! Spam filter?? That's a good one!! I always look at each spam item BEFORE deleting it. And you haven't here even answered my question--what if a single tank wing has built-in tank stabilizing bars? Will these built-in bars get in the way of the "clean and streamlined configuration" of your BP?

I haven't looked at your combo packages yet, but I do know that you don't sell a single tank wing smaller than 35# of lift, which is more than I need. I am VERY interested in your reverse profile BP. If you are interested in selling this to me for $150--SHIPPED--then please let me know (I will be watching carefully my spam folder :). I have a BIG problem with paying $17+ for shipping to the Bay Area (Mountain View).

Thanks...and nice finally to hear from you.

(I have just now looked at your combo packages. I only use Scubapro cam bands and never use a crotch strap, so your combo, esp given the 35# wing, is of no interest to me, even though the price seems GREAT [if that wing were 30#, I would have already bought it]!! I WANT YOUR REVERSE PROFILE STREAM BP--BUT FOR NOT A PENNY MORE THAN $150, which is already a HEFTY price. If you're willing to ship it to me for $150, then PM me. And if it's as good as it looks, you can bet that I will market for you this product better than you seem to market it yourself--no one on this board seems to own one).
