I heard these were a newly released, top secret item at DEMA a few weeks ago. Anybody had a chance to field test them yet?

Oh hum bug, powerbands, gearshifts, surely it is turbocharged and has a digital imput. I do know one thing, they are g-awful oo-ugly. This will fit right into the BCs with the up down elevator lever and the push button automatic transmission. It is going to be a great new year of awful gizmos and looking forward to a full year of poking fun at al of the useless c---p that the dive industry can crank out. What has the lowest carbon foot print, Jetfins that can easily last three decades or the latest plastic fin that you will replace next year with the latest plastic fin. Rubber at least is a natural product with some finite life whereas these thermoplastic petroleum consuming artificial materials may last thousands of years littering landfills and ocean bottoms where they are often thrown when the disgusted purchaser realizes the folly of the purchase.
That new AL Technisub micro mask does look very nice however.
Don't feed the pig, think before you purchase, recycle if possible.

I'll stick with my Volos.
I agree with Nemrod, though not to the same extent, that these apear to be a gimmick.

This type of gimmicky, dishonest marketing to people who just don't know any better really upsets me. I think it's a new strategy over at Aqualung this year, and I know that it leaves quite a bad taste in my mouth. The Eleveator lever BCD is Sea Quest which is Aqualung as well.

Power Bands
* Pure silicone Power Bands are loaded with energy on the power stroke. They release their energy prior to the upstroke to provide an added boost of power.
Wouldn't that mean that on the power stroke, less energy is transferred into propulsion so it can be stored for later, in order to provide more propulsion???. And since no mechanical device is 100% efficient, well you figure it out. Anybody know what these cost? What the slide show, it's a hoot.
