Size large (I'm 6'1" 190 lbs)
DiveRite XT (2013 model)
This was my first sidemount rig and it's served me well but I've migrated to a SM only style. Got some wear but no tear. Fully functional, minor mods. Can't remember exactly what they are, but Lamar loaned me his one day before I bought this one (good sales pitch) and I modded mine so it was like his.
$400 (+shipping)
Hollis SMS50 sport
My first try at a SM-only style rig. I modded it a little by swapping the inflator and dump valves and running a long string from the dump down the left shoulder strap. Dove it once with my Worthington 85's and it had plenty of lift despite the warnings to use AL only. However, I also dive 108s with a stage and deco bottle and decided to go with more lift.
