B.H. reb company is this: Open Safety Equipment ----<
I have no clue how big they are, but I think small
Edit: I was trying to be delicate here… but I guess I gotta shoot straight
Doesn’t look promising, doesn’t seem to generate interest, doesn’t seem to be.. real
I just looked at the OS webpage for the first time in years. When did they change the price to $18,000?!
And $26,000 for the not-homebuilt blank version?
Are they "selling" to militaries?

Large corporation plan. Lets make a new model. Designs a new model that sucks. Launches new model with bunch of publicity.
Nobody like the new model. Large corporation sees a problem. Doesn't see it correctly is another problem. The see the lack of new sales is a result of the old model still on the market. Cancel old model. Still not getting the sales. Well nobody is buying the new one since they can keep the old one running with all these old service parts. So large corporation looks at the service parts of legacy models, it isn't that big. If they end support of the legacy models then the old model will no longer be usable and they will have to buy the new one.
This is a common large corporate approach that the bean counters use to justify there existence. And there is very little, usually none, feedback that they did there job wrong when they do this. On paper they did everything possible to make the new model sell more. The actual result is they turned away anyone doing research into something to get. No way will they buy the new model, the large corporation killed off support of a model that was just built a year ago. Zero trust. Long term supporters, see the same thing. As loyal as they once were, they are jumping ship fast. The suits with there business degree are doing the thing they were taught in business school. This is how to advance a company, at least the business books say that is how it works. And it might work if you are making shoes and want to push a new style every year. Or office furniture and add content.
Even products that require parts to keep them going have been burned by large corporate overlords. GM killed Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Saab, Hummer. Ford killed the Mercury like. Chrysler corp did away with Plymouth. At least in the auto industry there is enough volume that aftermarket parts do exist. Some exists in dive gear, mostly parts kits for rebuilding regulators that are mass produced. Not the special parts for the super low volumes of rebreathers..
As for the Brad Horn rebreather. I am sure it will be holding the exact same share of the market in 2030 as it does in 2025.
