From jacket BC to back plate and wing?

[Sas]

I do not dive doubles or dry, so I have never had a reason to use a BP/W.

So what makes you think you have any idea at all how they work?

And why do you think they only suit doubles or dry diving?

You have zero idea what you are talking about and you have the nerve to comment on another poster's experience with different BCs

I do not dislike BP/W's,.....

You don't have the experience to evaluate a BP/W vs jacket BC. It's that simple. Why don't you try one?

Ahh burna, I love reading each of your comments about how much you like your BP/W

I think you were the last buddy converted??

Ha ha! There will be others.
(Have to confess having a thing for 7 of 9. That skin tight suit didn't leave much to the imagination....Mmmmm...)

I'm a happy convert. Then again...I'm sure members of some brainwashing religious cult would say the same!!

Hahah me too Well when she got all the robot bits taken away anyway. Or am I mixing up characters?

Haha you love it. Wish I could find that message from you after you got your BP/W where you said you'd never end up as one of those people online promoting them

I knew you would be on here, thought I'd check one last time before settling down to watch Hurt Locker. Go to bed you got work tomorrow! I'm already here! :depressed:

I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about...

Haha yea, I better go to bed, got no missus to tell me to go to bed now, he's in Vegas. Enjoy Hurt Locker

I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about...

LIES! I will find it eventually!

I think we argue a great deal about things that are either largely untrue (like the push your face in the water thing) or irrelevant.

This push your face in the water thing has been twisted over time. No BCD is designed to act as a life vest and keep your face out of the water when unconscious. However, a back inflation only device will "tend" to put your face in the water more than a jacket style if overinflated. This is simply not a problem for a conscious diver who can adjust the inflation, roll onto their back or use their body to stay erect.

What is simple is, there is absolutely no reason why an EXPERIENCED diver has to have used a backplate wing set up in order to know exactly its characteristics in order to make an evaluation.

I found any one of those BP/Ws was better than all of those BCs. For the reasons gone over already in this thread.

How many BP/Ws have you tried Halemano? There's nothing wrong with disliking BP/Ws like you do, but there is a lot wrong with asserting incorrect things about them such as you seem to like to do.

I am only asserting that; from a basic physics standpoint I will need scientific data to not believe a well designed Vest BC is more streamlined than well designed BI and BP/W BC's and from a basic physics standpoint I will need scientific data to not believe air release from a well designed Vest BC is easier than from well designed BI or BP/W BC's.

I do not dislike BP/W's, I dislike the use of red herring arguments. If someone is going to dive doubles they should seriously consider a BP/W. If someone is going to dive dry they should probably consider BP/W. If someone is just a typical, average diver the reasons for considering a BP/W are not so pressing, IMHO.

And why do you think they only suit doubles or dry diving?

You have zero idea what you are talking about and you have the nerve to comment on another poster's experience with different BCs

This post feels like I am repeating myself, but some seem to not see what I am actually typing. Working from the bottom underlined words going up;

I had the nerve to say that InTheDrink was making overall statements that his experience does not give him the experience to make. He said;

A BP/W is easier to dive well in. Jackets tend to ride up

His experience only allows this statement;

MY BP/W is easier to dive well in, FOR ME. Jackets I HAVE USED tend to ride up ON ME

Saspotato; you accuse me of "asserting incorrect things" and claim "all the reasons gone over in this thread" are why you think all those BP/W's are better than all those non-BP/W's. Could you please go over exactly which reasons gone over in this thread make all those BP/W's better than all those non-BP/W's?

Now adding the bolded words to this, could you explain to me why you say I have zero idea what I am talking about? Do you have any proof that a well designed VEST is not more streamlined and does not release air easier than any well designed non-Vest?
