I know this has been covered a lot but I want to say I love BPW setups.
Last weekend I went out with Eric S and he let me do a gear demo on one of his Freedom Contour backplates. WOW is all I can say. I have never dove a BPW set up before but now all I want to do is dive in one. The setup hugs your back and makes the tank sit very sung against your body with no tank roll side to side. The way it is designed makes it very adjustable and free feeling. Much more comfortable then a jacket or back inflate BCD. I didn’t feel like I was wearing anything when I was in the water and it let me be horizontal instead of at a slit upward angle like my current BC does. Oh and the best part is I was able to dive with 10LBS less in his set up then in the BCD I use now. I am a convinced a BPW set up is the right set up for me and I want to thank Eric S for that!!!!
