LP85 or HP100's for Sidemount? I dive mostly in either a 3 mill or 5 mill wet

Thank you all for your inputs

For open water diving, you can put boots on your round bottom tanks. I do.

To be honest, I plan on doing that, but somehow, I can't be bothered to order and install a set.
I might do it at some point.

I like 85s in fresh water and 100s in salt, but when I'm in the wetsuit it's going to be AL80s.

Ive decided to make my life easier this summer and listen to your advice @Marie13 . And get a pair of boots.

My back thanks me, even tho I lost a couple of my technical points.
I also realized that the boots are much lower profile than my straps. So Not much of a snag hazard I guess.

So much easier to handle round bottomed single tanks with boots. I know my fill station appreciates it!

Well carrying stuff from the parking lot to my apartment suddenly got a lot easier. I don't need to take two trips, or seach for non slippery surfaces to lean my tanks.
