Thats exactly the problem i had, air will only dump at highest point, getting the normal forward shoulder dump valve to be highest point involves odd rolling.

I bought a cuff dump for £10, fitted it myself in 10 mins and problem solved. I left the shoulder dump on the suit but i never use it.

You need to add another "I use either depending upon my mood" choice.

LOL...good call. Sometimes I use the suit, sometimes the BC. I've found myself using the suit more and more recently.
