My first Sidemount Kit, piecing it together

@L13

Are the prices in aforementioned link typical for same kit in US?

Not even close. You can get the equivalent from DGX for about 1/4 the price. (Though the personalized options probably do deserve a premium)

What are these personalized options, I couldn't understand what was personalized there.

Ir looked like you could get up to 7 characters embroidered on the tag for the hose keepers, plus custom color choices. Not worth it to me, but maybe to someone. the non-custom choices just looked stupid expensive.

I see, thank you.

Not worth it to me at all.

You dive what you want and I will dive what I want. I will also support those companies that I believe in and have great customer service by giving them my money even if it is a bit more expensive than something you can find elsewhere.

As for the same kit from DGX, yes, you can get it from them but I know the hose retainers do not last as long as the ones I am diving from D'Luxe.

We all have choices to make in our gear selection and where we spend our money and the more options we know about, the better choices we can make.
