Hey all,
I've been diving sidemount for a lot of my open water dives lately. I'm in 32 degree water all the time in a drysuit with dry gloves, and having sidemounted tanks is awesome. Walking down a snow covered, icy, uneven rock hill is way better without two tanks mounted. It's super convieniant to drop my tanks off, go suit up, stroll to the water and hook in while chest deep.
The only issue im having is that I'm using bolt snaps to attach my tanks to my buttplate (nomad) and my dry gloves, with their insulation makes it really difficult to pull down on the thumb clip of the bolt snap.
Does anyone know of a bolt snap with and extended thumb ridge, or has anyone used anything different than the standard xl 5/8' jaw snap?
Thanks!
