Thanks -
I plan on getting it on golemgear for $290. I wouldnt spend more than $300 on a wing
He's talking about the Oxycheq wing.is the Golem wing a ring
I was watching the site all week and originally I was going to go with the 23# wing because the 18# was 'out of stock' but then, almost magically, it came back in stock and I pulled the trigger. Spoke to Brian via email and he sent it out today and it's due to be here Saturday !!He scored the last one
Well, @Bryan@Vintage Double Hose shipped my 18# VDH wing, I moved to Fort Lauderdale, I went by DGX and grabbed some hardware and a aluminum backplate (will probably rig another setup once I get the SS Freedom from Eric), I received blue webbing from Piranha and I rigged my first BP/W. Below are the shots of me setting it up. I think the plate rides a little low on my back so I may mess around with the straps some but it looks freaking awesome.
I've left the waist straps plenty long until I get it dialed in just right.
I bought 16' of navy blue webbing but I could have gotten away with 12' (good to know for the future).
I think I'll add some of the tube webbing on the left waist strap to act as a keeper for the excess webbing.
I need a bungee for my inflator hose and I'll be ready to roll.
I went with the 16" inflator hose on the VDH and probably should have gone shorter
I'll pick up a 12" next time I've over at DGX
By the way, I went in to DGX right as they were opening and Keith was great. He gave me some advice on rigging my first harness and gave me some more dive op recommendations local to FLL/Boca.

Looks great. Minus the wing what do you have invested?
