I was thinking about replacing my OMS setup with this new BPW equipment that Apeks cam out with, any thoughts?

Funny that the Aqualung website has these but they are nowhere to be found on the Apeks UK site.
The fact that they will be sold in the US by Aqualung guarantees they will be overpriced (max 10% discount) and can't be sold over the phone/mail/internet.
I'll keep my DSS rig.

Yabbut ... it does answer the question about whether or not backplates are starting to become more mainstream ... now that they can overprice them, more LDS will start carrying them ...StSomewhere:Funny that the Aqualung website has these but they are nowhere to be found on the Apeks UK site.

Yep, looks good. I like that harness with the padding.........
I just put the WTX harness on for the first time with a cylinder. I have to admit, this is a VERY comfortable harness. I don't think it will meet the needs of the extended range technical divers, but this is going to be a hit with the harness-style recreational divers. This set-up is going to give Dive Rite and OMS a pretty good run for the money. Apeks and AquaLung apparently did their homework on this series of products.

I will see them for the fist time next tues when the rep comes by. I am a fan of apeks products so far, so my expectations are high. If I like them, I will probably get the 60lb bladder for my twin set up. Will let ya'll know.........
