it has a part # 427105 it has the wrapture system like the black ice bcd. is this an error in the manual?

There are a number of mfg's of jacket bc's that make this claim. The truth is it's a gimmick that does not do what a proper twin set rig, ie. BPW does. It's nothing more than a way to separate you from your money. The rigs are not stable enough as you will still have a floppy bc with no crotch strap trying to do something it was never designed to do.

I fell for this line of BS early on with another brand that promised an adapter to use doubles at some point. That's why I bought the BC. Fortunately I got with people who set me straight.

It ends up being a Rube Goldberg contraption that can be dangerous. Get a BPW and be done with it. You can do singles or doubles and not be trying to jury rig it for either if you plan to dive doubles at some point.

thank you for your input. looks like i will be buying a BPW when the time comes. i guess it couldn't hurt to have both anyway.
