Hog Harness vs Pro fit adjustable

[SangP]

In sum, I don't know that it's entire fair to say only OxyCheq makes an adjustable harness for backplates without a chest strap, when at least one other company makes such a harness with what can only be described as an optional chest strap.

Thanks for your comments CompuDude, I mentioned only oxycheq because when you purchase these comfort harness, they come with the chest strap and although in some cases you can remove them but you've paid for the chest strap already.

BigTuna, thanks for your explanation. As far as I know, all the quick releases are under your arms and having used a dry suit once, I can't really comment on how numb your fingers get. As for hanging up your gauges on the harness, I guess that everyone who uses wrist gagues have that problem with harness. I usually turn my compass face to the bottom of my wrist when doning the rig so it doesn't hang up.

I really dont use the quick releases to get out of the harness. I dont find it necessary. But I do adjust the harness much more easily depending on which suit I am wearing...

Bingo! One day in the dry suit, the next in a 3 mil. Deluxe harness for me. I also never use the buckles and I took my chest strap off but the ability to quickly adjust is priceless, for me.

For me...

Drysuit = Steel Doubles = Different BP for me.

So my SS Backplate will stay set for my wetsuit, and my new plate will be setup for the drysuit. I can rig up a new BP for under $100, or buy one from Hammerhead for $70-100. Easily worth in in my opinion. Of course, this will not be the direction a lot of people want to go.

Wow, glad I asked the question. Gave me something to think about on which way to go. If I were to order today I would definitely go with the
