The seller doesn't take returns so selling/trading it are my only options. I haven't had it wet as yet so I don't know.Return it.
Get eBay involved, as you didn't receive what you bought (or it was misrepresented, description differed from the item, however you want to explain it).The seller doesn't take returns
Yeah, that's not an option at this point as it's been about 60+ days. We got real busy at work and worked a lot of hours so it kinda slipped through the cracks. Maybe I'll put it up for sale on here. If you know of anyone that may be interested please lrt me know. It's Brand Spanking New. Came in the Scubapro packaging. I haven't even tried to mount it on my backplate. Anyway, thanks for the input ... be safe.... JPGet eBay involved, as you didn't receive what you bought (or it was misrepresented, description differed from the item, however you want to explain it).

So... Is the problem in this story the wing, or the WETsuit? In which world is it a good idea to pair up steel tanks and thick wet suits? And should it not be your job as an instructor to guide your student before she is put in potiential harms way?I'm going to skip all the technical stuff and just share 2 stories.
One: I had an Intro to Tech student in my local lake a few weeks ago. She was wearing a thick wetsuit and double steel HP100s. She had a 40# wing and an aluminum backplate. She is somewhere around 5' 4" to 5' 6" and in good shape (not rail thin, but slender-ish). With the wing fully inflated (to OPV popping off), she could barely keep her head above water. Slow boats going by well offshore were creating very small waves that were going over her head.
Doubled old-school 72's (2 x 71.2 cu ft @ 2,475) + Luxfer Al 40 in salt water seem to work okay dove with a wetsuit. At least, the numbers suggest to me that this config will be safe enough.... In which world is it a good idea to pair up steel tanks and thick wet suits? ...
