BP&W Hurt My Armpit?

[Blue Water Only!]

Two things, I have dove a Zeagle BP&W (30lbs) lift for three years and like it. But the last trip I got "bumps" in my left armpit and was wondering if the harness plus the salt caused it? I dove 2 to 3 times a day and rinsed the wetsuit well every day. The bumps went away after being home for 2 weeks. Now for the other thing, travel weights and packing dive gear? I was looking at the Mares ICON have not seen one in person as of yet. Liked the way it folded up for travel but it is new and I would like some reviews please. I will not give up the BP&W but I have to admit my Zeagle Ranger is more comfy but it is a beast. 96.5% of all my diving, requires a airplane to get there. And the BP&W will not fold,well the BP. Thanks

If it's adjusted properly, it shouldn't touch your armpit. If you can't get your BP/W to fold well enough to fit into a carryon bag, you're doing something wrong. My BP/W, harness, and a full set of DIR hoses came in a box so small, I literally thought it was a mail order catalog until I saw the label on it. I can fit two into a laptop computer case.
