Does anyone know if they offer a redundant bladder? I saw somewhere that its an option but nothing on their site showing it or giving info, that I can find.

Yeah i saw that same exact site. All the pictures show a single inflator though so I shucked it off. Cant even find it on diverite website though. It just simply says "An optional bailout bladder will provide twenty-five pounds of additional lift." Annoying >.<

Honestly think this is the best option next to the xdeep tec 2.0. I'm still up in the air between the two. I feel like I need to wait out the june sidewinder release to see if they're also dropping a new wing as well.

Actually, now that I'm looking at it, dump valve at the top middle and lower left is not ideal. I guess xdeep it is.

As always, YMMV.

The shape of the Ray when inflated is pretty good and I personally prefer the shoulder strap pull to the butt dump (I have wings with both)

I would imagine that requires you to break trim if you have to use it, no?

One thing I _always_ hated about my back mount BCD is that I had to trim a bit vertically just to dump air from the top dump valve. Im lazy and would just rather always stay in trim

No, it doesn’t.

That said, I’m probably not the best person to ask because I am not a trim nazi , holding whatever trim I want is more important than holding whatever trim someone else tells me I have to. If I had to be head down for some reason and the shoulder dump didn’t work I’d go for the hip dump, it’s a non issue.

No more than a butt dump requires a head down trim to dump...

Xdeep butt dump definitely requires some trim change to get the absolute last bit out.

A wing with both butt and side dump would be nice, just a little roll to dump. The SumpUK does.
