Well, it has finally died. It is leaking from the seal around the right front of the vest. I guess I can't complain. It's been a great BC. I just ordered a replacement without a power inflator. I intend to swap all of the hardware I can from the old one to the new one. Some things are different. The shoulder dump valve is smaller, the inflator hose connection is different, there is another dump valve at the bottom of the vest, the tank buckle adjustment is different, and they took away some places to attach stuff.
I will opt for the old tank buckle, it's easier to adjust. They messed up a good design. And I wish they had left the attach points alone. Now I have to find a new place for my knife. Maybe I'll find a good place to attach my shears and just forget about the knife. Oh well, it's like losing an old friend. :sad_2:
