I change all mine out to the zeagle one. Used it for a decade or so and couldn’t get used to the scubapro one on my litehawkLooks like a standard 1” hose, if so putting a common K inflator on shouldn’t be a problem. It looks to be a nice rig.

Any benefit to the adjustable harness?I also went with a Subgravity. The options they offer and the quality is great. ONLY thing I have against them is the wing to plate bolt is 8mm metric. NO one has speed nuts in 8mm.

I love their adjustable harness, it is so simple and easy to get out of without any of the down falls and clutter of a standard BC adjustable harness. It comes pre-assembled on the backplate.Any benefit to the adjustable harness?
He's not making them anymore. I messaged him and that's what he told me.
Really nice system. It comes pre-assembled and the connection system is solid and all stainless. Easy to get in and out of when I'm bulky with a thick suit. When I'm in a rash guard I just wiggle in and out, but cold water the release system is nice.Any benefit to the adjustable harness?
Ya got me. Let me re-state. You can only get the 8mm x 1.25 from them at $20 EACH. I bought my Subgravity from my LDS and said I wanted speed nuts. We both looked at the bolt and he handed me 5/16 speed (I build houses and restore cars, so I'm pretty good sizing up nuts and bolts). I came home to put the system together and they didn't fit. I thought I must have cross threaded it, but the other didn't fit. I took the bolt to my car shop and where I found out it's 8mm and not only that, it's 1.25 thread. I called my LDS and he said, "Can't be, they are made in Colorado." He emails Subgravity and they say, yup 8mm x 1.25. He's just as stunned as me. I'm in Philadelphia where there are a bunch of dive shops close to me. I call them all with my request and they all say I have to be wrong and/or they don't have them. In the end I was just frustrated and switched the nuts and bolts out to 5/16.Sub Gravity makes 8mm speed nuts. Delrin Thumbwheel Nuts - Subgravity
