I see Piranha has these (at least they _look_ the same) on sale for USD23 [1]. Alas shipping to Canada kindof eats up any savings for me.

Does anyone have experience with harnesses with a grommet in the middle of the webbing? Dive Rite basic harnesses are quite reasonable at the LDS, and sourcing webbing and hardware seems a bit trickier in Canada. I guess the grommet is unhelpful (no plans to use an STA on my aluminum FP), and I suspect they might scratch things up unless some care is taken.

It handy to show the center of the webbing, not useful otherwise, easily removed.

You can't order from Dive Gear Express in Canada?

I can, but shipping starts at about USD25-30, which makes the overall price of USD50 worth of parts less attractive.

Ouch. Yeah, that's a bummer.

Dep. on how thick it is you may have to work it through slots. I never bothered removing mine and I don't think it scratched anything. At some point I just bought new webbing.

Just put the grommet in the back where the one strap goes over the other before it goes back into the top slot and out the front. It will just sit there and not bother anything.

Well Eric finally let go of his heavy FP

Weight alone

With rail and 6lb soft weight under the rail

I had an oxychec delux harness and installed it but I just don’t like such stiff webbing

So I just put my old FP harness on it.

Something like this, I guess?
