Apeks WTX harness

Kinda what I was thinking. What do you have it wrapped in? Farily comfortable? I suspect you probably don't even feel it.

It's wrapped in Butyl Flashing Tape (heres a sample link Butyl Flashing Tape ) I found a roll at my local Home Depot in the window section.

Yes, it's comfortable, you never even realize its in there. However, when I travel (by air) I take it out and toss in two - 2lb soft weights or the equivalent in ankle weights, whatever the local shop has.

Good idea. I'm looking forward to the new setup. I'm just making sure I have all the information I need before the leap. It's an expensive one

A BP is really comfortable. I was surprised the first time.

If you have a steel shop around. Here's a cheap solution, which I'm in the process of doing. (PM for CAD files, I'll do it this Saturday)

You can either ask it to be laser cut then bent with a shear.

IMHO Standard Steel + Galvanizing is the cheapest and best alternative. Scuba Tanks are galvanized and they are not made of Stainless Steel.
Steel(50¢/lbs) + Galvanizing(50¢/lbs) + Labor (40$) = 46$
Stainless Steel(5$/lbs) + Labor (40$) = 70$

I love my WTX wing and a BP + a small Wing is truly a nice combo.
Apeks sells the combol BP+HARNESS+WING

Man that's awesome. I'd definitely take the cad setup when you have it. I have a steel shop right by my house. I'm assuming most steel shops have the equipment to do all that stuff? I can take the pic and the cad stuff and bring it by there. Thanks a bunch
