Peregrine has stopped shipping until maybe February per DGX website. No news on Perdix shortage.

While this is true, I still have both on the shelf.

I am curious if the cylinder is DOT/CTC etc.

The tank boot was obscuring the certification info so i couldnt read the labeling. However i believe they said they are ISO tanks so they legit in most places, including US. I talked to my buddy at the PSI booth who quizzed them and he said they had done their homework on tanks.

And how the hydro test would go.

They will offer a kit for hydro testing. The top and bottom fittings are removed and replaced with a plug and an adapter.

Sounds like a Sotus spin...

Sorry the US code specifies DOT. Regards Hydro, any plugs etc for would have to be approved by DOT for any hydro facility to legally perform a test.

They may be working on that, but meeting ISO means very little in states, and in many other first world countries

No idea what sotus means.

ISO is a recognized standard for tanks. Check your copy of the federal register.

I think the whole design is destined to fizzle for several reasons but apparently they have worked out the details regarding certs, vip and testing.

I am skeptical about the durability of carbonfiber wrapped tanks and prologed immersion but they do hold up for fire departments, who are not gentle.

Hydrotest Products werent at the show. Would have loved to hear their take.

While all that is nice, to me it looks like solution looking for problem to solve.

My thought exactly. I’m struggling to understand the point. I don’t see the ‘why’ I should want it.

yes, but ISO by itself does NOT replace DOT, and ISO and other international certified cylinders are only permitted to be transported under certain permitted situations (think ships/aircraft in transit type stuff).

There are plenty of UN/ISO paintball tanks in the market today.

It's really getting down into the weeds but if you want to learn more check this document:

What do you all think about this?

Worn out record here on SB but I don’t see what’s wrong with my BP/W.

It’s bone simple, reliable and offers me exceptionally precise buoyancy control.
